Need to cut bailing wire on a regular basis, would the flik handle it, or are they just for elec wire? I had a wingman with wire cutters similar, and they were pretty worthless, but are these better quality?

Flik's cutters are definitely better than the Wingman's.  I don't really deal with bailing wire, what's the thickness and material?  I'm always very wary of heavy gauge steel wire and MT cutters, I don't normally feel they are up to the task of cutting heavy gear over and over again.  Others do disagree with me though. :)

It should cut baling wire ok. Mine did. I also used mine to cut barbwire a few times. It did ok. Would not want to do that all the time with most MTs without replaceable cutters.

Here are a couple of shots of the cutters.







Not got the hard wire notch that you see on some other cutters, but they are well defined enough that they cut electrical cable, both single core and stranded, very well.
