I used to have a really useful set of very small wire snips - a Swedish
make (Lindtrom). Good for getting into tight spaces for cutting thin
wires.
[Note: just found a small pair of needle nosed pliers and managed to
look up the maker. Then Googled. Mainly US hits, but £plenty!]

I now look at those available on line and I can't tell the difference
between good quality precision engineered and cheap ones from crap
steel.

Something like
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PRECISION-MI...ERS-nipper/dp/
B00439KLYE/ref=zg_bs_1938883031_11
perhaps.

Any recommendations?

I'd rather spend more on a good pair than keep replacing cheap ones.

Lindstrom , now actually owned by Snap On, ball bearing steel, really
don`t get better , from about 20 quid on ebay.



Thanks to reponders.

After I posted (having looked at Amazon and the like and seen the
Lindstrom at £50ish) I found a set on eBay around £20.

Think I will go for them.
