Amongst my tools there's a pair of diagonal cutting pliers with a notch
like that in the jaws, "EDM"d into them by my cutting a lamp cord that
had somehow plugged itself back in ..... I know I'd unplugged it first.

It's good for stripping wire. <G>

I just know I'm not alone....

Decent - yes
Great - no
They used to be better, but like most things they have been made cheaper
than they used to be.
