Well, a pair of stainless-style office shears seems to work well enough -- if slow. Doing longitudinal strips. Have not tried any electrical or other powered tool yet.

I use them to wrap around furniture and cabinets that I make and glue together. They serve well for that and by far are less expensive than having 2 or 3 dozen cabinet clamps of various lengths. Also short strips come in handy for ties to use on bags of partially used fertilizer, ant poison and such. Much prefer them to bungie cords since they don't have the heavy metal end that can hurt like heck when the person on the other end lets go of their end.
