> I purchased some wire cutters a year or two ago from Amazon and they were fine for the speaker wire I was cutting... Until this year when I tried to cut a guitar string with them and found a perfect guitar gauged hole in my snips every time I tried to cut.

This is normal.

For instance, when I work on my bicycle, I have to use a $40 Park Tool to cut brake lines and shifter cables. The $40 tool delivers far better results than you could ever get from a conventional wire cutter.

$10 snips should be better than that!

I replaced them with $5 Stanley wire cutters that had 0 issue dealing with guitar strings.

So what happened is I was given a 10c piece of junk and paid $10 for the privilege of being ripped off.
