A lot of the handles and knobs I have had to deal with lately have metric screws. I often need to cut the screw length down. I can find good american sized “shears” for 8/32 screws but anyone know of metric sized “shears” of good quailty?

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!! What a Ride!
how about a set of crimpers???

you thread the bolt into an appropriate hole and shear it off to the right length then run it out .
hey presto!!
Thats the type of tool but last year when I was in the uk I tried out some of the "cheap" ones and they sucked big time. more bending than cutting the screws!
