I think the topic of this thread is common sense. If someone cuts a snake with a brand new set of linemans that is their problem. I would not chisel brick with a NEW Witte screwdriver, but one that's a year old and dull is gonna get some abuse. ANYONE who cuts triplex with a ratchet cable cutter is either a green helper or a moron.
