Ha ha, I had the exact same experience cutting guitar string with wire cutters from my local dollar store.

This will be your experience 99% of the time using cheap wire cutters on strings. They’re meant for soft copper wire, and strings have steel cores!

The $5 guitar string tool will work every time, though.
