Oh man, @the_patricia you hit the nail on the head. I bought a high end Klein tool a few years back and it just mangled my coax ends. My cheapo Amazon one still works perfect, so I literally just keep the fancy one in the drawer as a reminder not to waste money. Feels like every time I try to go professional grade on something, it lets me down. But then the no-name stuff from some random seller is built like a tank and never quits. Makes no sense at all.

Wattage was the last thing on my mind honestly, but yeah that makes sense now.

Real pros call that "androgynous cut" instead of pixie, everything has a proper name.

Man, that's just how it goes online these days. People see a few posts and jump to wild conclusions before all the facts are out, it's like everyone wants to be a detective with half the story. I've noticed this same pattern in my own neighborhood group, a simple question about a lost cat turned into accusations of a petnapping ring that never existed, and then everyone just quietly dropped it when the cat came home. It's a reminder to slow down and let things play out before grabbing the pitchfork.

Right? I put "synergistic team player" once and still hear about it.
