Just what I needed - a new tool! LOL 
I saw these pliers online and had to have them. They are flush cut Nippers made in the USA by Klein Tools. They cost me a whopping $12 Buck's and they really work quite well!! They are spring loaded and are useful for any lightweight (up to 16 Ga wire) cutting that you want perfectly flush. I use Nylon Zip Ties all the time and with a regular pair of Diagonal Pliers there is always a left over piece sticking out that is sharp. This tool cuts them perfectly smooth and flush. They are also great for cutting plastics, plastic sprue, thin gauge wires, threads, leather, etc. Great for leather working!
Snap-on make a big bulky pair that are too bulky for fine work and a bit heavy - although they do work well on large items they also cost about $70 Buck's.
Just figured I'd give you guys the heads up in case you could use them. BTW, I bought them online from Home Depot. I do not trust Amazon for tools as many of what they sell are counterfeit Chinese knock-offs. Been there, done that!
Like I said, I need another pair of pliers like I need a hole in my head, (two drawers full - not including what I've got in my vehicles) as you can see!

It's just in my DNA. After working on a project I will not go to bed with a mess on my workbench - and believe me.... it gets messy!!
