Edit: found a place locally that has a few different ones. Is the Park version worth the upcharge for a "civilian" user? They have the Cyclepro cutters for $24.95, and I might just go ahead as I'm too impatient to wait for a delivery.
The Cyclepros should be good for a number of years. Not that different from the Park actually. And they are tons better than regular wire cutters.
