Thanks Nutah,

Great idea & thanks for the link, those snips look the business, although I usually melt the ends with my soldering iron, end up with a ball rather than razors. That is of course if I can hold my old hands steady enough ha ha.

All the best Paul.

I use those circuit board cutters too. You don't get a sharp end if you cut tie wraps off down their length, unlike most people who cut along wide part.
