Once upon a time, a buddy loaned me a tool that automatically tensioned and cut cable ties (also known as tie wraps, zip ties, and probably several other names). The big advantage of this tool is that it properly tensions the ties and cuts 'em off very close to being flush. That way, your risk of being sliced open by a protruding cut-off end goes down a bit.
Anyway, I'm in the market to buy one, and I can't get in touch with the guy who loaned me his in the first place. I've found several possibilities on-line, Google being my friend and all, but the descriptions are lacking on most of 'em. The one I'm looking for is a hand tool - no power and doesn't need to be twisted to cut the cable ties. In addition, it has the ability to tension and cut the three common sizes of zip ties you'd find in the bulk section at Home Depot.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe post a link?
