Personally, I'm not in the market as I have this pair that were in a random box I got at an auction. I ground them down/sharpened them to make them more efficient for P80 frame work. They are sharp enough that they would be suitable for circumcisions! :eek: :D I recently cleaned them up to see what brand they were and the results were inconclusive... :unsure: The little orange guys came in a set with other small pliers/cutters.

Yep, I have a large pair for the front and a smaller pair for the rears. The right nippers really helps speed up the tab removal process. Just wish I would have found a u shaped version to cut the RSA channel tab.
 
I used fret cutters on the tabs of my first build. I didn't like the way it left the white tear / ruts in the frame. Purely cosmetic. But it bugged me. So now I use a cutting wheel saw. But I will say it's a more dangerous way (to your fingers!), and you have to have GOOD control of the tool.
 
I got some Craftsman almost flush cut diagonal cutters at Lowes recently. They were not the cheapest but not in the price range of the best cutters in that video. For whatever reason, they cut tabs much better and cleaner than anything else I have. I can clean up the cuts quickly but there is still a thin white line. Much thinner than anything else I used but it's there.
