I have two shorties and the one long set in the garage. I use one more set of them to cut network and other signal cables and the oher to cut and prep coaxial cables.

I can still buy the nylon anvils and steel blades but Stanley stopped production of this damn handy little tool when they took over Craftsman.
Some other enterprising soul is making them now. If they're as stout as the real thing get em while you can.

I had no idea you could cut braided stainless with such a device. Good info.
