99.9% of the time an extra twist of the wrist after trimming the end will rotate the buckle around to the back of the bundle against something, where it is safe AND looks much better.

I got my flush cutters from work 20 years ago. I'm not sure of the brand, but they have light green, very foamy grips. Hamfisted machine operators used to use them to cut piano wire all the time, which instantly destroyed them.

I can't remember how long I've had mine. Decades. I like to run down the row of zip ties, bang, bang, bang. Each one equally tensioned and cut off smooth as quick as you can pull the handle.

This looks shockingly like what would happen if Kalashnikov designed a pistol.*
