  1. I have fx9 on TX compact 12 footers feels ok to me the TX is a slim rod
  2. I prefer the side cutter version to those end cutters so there should be something to suit all just make sure they are sharp some of the cheap nasty ones will leave a burr like a barb so defeat the object elmo the ones you were using are more for things like solder or fine wires not hardened like a hook

  19. I don’t make mine that sharp with about 6 or 7 swipes of a file and it kind of “ticks” if I touch the point and that is good enough for me I don’t make the points a mile long.
