Flush Cut Your Cable Ties!

If I could pass one piece of knowledge onto every person in the electronics industry it would be this: always flush cut your cable ties. I am tired of having my forearms sliced up by sharp cable ties every time I reach inside a piece of equipment. So remember, safety first, cut your ties flush. Besides, flush ties just look nicer.

    For home use, I even use a sharp knife to cut off the tie because there is much less of a sharp point left behind and you can cut even closer.
    Just watch your thumb or keep a piece of hard plastic/wood behind the tie when cutting.

    I forgot to mention to cut from one side to another, not flat on the tie.
