    They’re just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything

    Use dikes, not a knife, and cut the head of the tie, not the strap

      YES

      Flush cutters specifically. And you cut the side of the head opposite the tail with the cutter flat against the face of the tail passing through the head.

      I use whatever I have with me, sometimes I have the tools with me but I’d lie if I said I always carry the toolbag around.

      Yeah I do sometimes have dykes at hand but that shouldnt be necessary in professional environment.

      Still hate the zipties in this context tho
