Offset to one side, or just bent forwards?


Did wonder if that would cause confusion. Bent forward probably describes
it best. So you can cut tight to a PCB etc. Many of the ones I've looked
at are 45 degrees or so. Maybe because the chunky handles need more
clearance.


Anything in the Xuron range suit ?
They have quite a good reputation in the US where they are manufactured but
do have UK stockists though not all hold the complete range.
This supplier appears to hold a selection
