I'm fairly certain this is one type of tool Raimund refers to. Image

I use that tool all the time now; regular side cutters leave a sharp
stub of zip tie that can cut arms, wrists.

As a real estate agent might say: "location, location, location". I
know first hand how a lack of preplanning can result in having to re
