www.familyhandyman.com/article/wire-cutter-with-screw-cutter "Everyone knows wire cutters can cut wire. But did you know they can cut screws too? Wire cutters—also known as wire strippers—are an essential inclusion in every handyperson’s toolbox. For cleanly cutting and stripping wires, no other tool compares...." My notes: Anybody knew this little trick? I remember seeing those holes but didn't know you could cut screws with them.

Yep. Used my handy-dandy wire cutters to do that many a time.

So like you mean to cut screws out of holes if they get stripped? Not sure if I'm seeing the point of cutting a screw, though there are times the top gets stripped and nothing gets it out.

Their are more tools in these days as wire cutter can cut even nails as I have used some instruments in the past because I work for my company.
Why don't you use electronic drill type machines to cut those wires?

If I worked in a factory there would be probably be a machine that does it but for normal everyday use, why would we need one?
