"Yes dear theres' pair in the rack on the shed wall - use the red handled pair."
later
"Darling couldn't find the red ones ,I used the blue long handled ones on the other rack."

I've got a set of these for Cable. Goes through a 95mm2 welding cable like nothing else. Also handles multi core well, trailer cable, 3x2.5mm2 extension leads etc. They definitely earn their keep over something like a set of diagonal side cutters or bolt cutters for that kind of work.

Yeah ! Just about right for people that cut wire with snips.
Where would you start first,their toes or fingers?

For those 'tool borrowers':
Start first the the oxy acetylene torch on the soles of the feet. Give them some time to contemplate their poor life choices.
Then toes, starting with the little ones, and working up to the big toes. Chopper Reid style.
For the missus:
Manage a meek smile and a "yes dear"

The duckbill gilbows were the best snips ever, I still use mine every roof we sheet, although I have a set of crank handled Erdi ones which I tend to pick up regularly now too.
