Just make sure you get the right ones .....these cut differently than the ones in Reinhard's pics .
You can see that these give a FLUSH CUT which is what you want . A buddy of mine takes ordinary side cutters and grinds them to resemble the above .....still not as good as the real thing .
The nippers have always had reddish orange or orange grips which is the giveaway to picking them out . Some specialty tool stores carry them too but your LHS should have them if they carry trains ....should be under $20 .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
