What do you all use for getting a nice square smooth cut across RG-8 and LMR-400 and even larger COAX Cable??  Every time I try to use wire cutters I just end up with a ragged out of round cable end.  I have seen some of these for sale on Ebay and wonder if they are the secret??  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ratchet-Cable-Wire-Cutter-Cut-Up-To-240mm2-Ratcheting-Wire-Cutting-Hand-Tool-New-/381091272891?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58bacf58bb

Or maybe a pair of ratcheting PVC pipe cutters might work.
