That would be a sidecutter.

Cut the first two sections with sharp wire cutters, then use the handle of a wrench that is the right diameter to smash through the rest of the row. Sooooo much faster than snipping each piece.

a pair of side cutters worked excellent. it didnt chip or break and made it really easy to make accurate cuts.

I just look really sad when I buy it at Winsor Plywood and they cut if for me so their saw gets gummed up and not mine!
