I second this. Crooked tubing cuts are a leading cause of pneumatics leaks on systems I've seen.


If you're not cutting small (>14AWG) wire and zip ties with Hakko flush cutters, you're missing out. Comfiest cutters I've ever used, stays sharp forever, and has the most flush cut I've ever seen. Great for cutting zip tie ends!

If you do any work with #25 chain, you need to get a Team 221 Dark Soul Chain tool. It's the easiest chain breaking/joining tool I've ever used.

I love this thread. I've been compiling a list of parts and tools for us to purchase in preparation for 2016, so this is definitely helpful.
