This surprised me, at 2:08

"These cable cutters are sharpened in such a manner that they will cut a clean cut through these, and will not cause any shorts"

Seems like there would still be brief millisecond shorts? But maybe that's ok?

Probably just trying to avoid continued shorts from wires that are torn apart instead of cleanly cut.
