Braided wire cutting.

[aluminated]

I cut the wire in my test with four different LM tools, including the one I had in my pocket that I needed to use at the hardware store to cut the cables off the spools.
Three of those tools each cost less than $50 since I don't buy new.
One came from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Another shipped from Naval Station Rota in Cádiz, Spain. I'm an ocean away from one and an ocean and a continent away from the other. I just don't understand the price complaints.

A Surge retails here for about $250NZD. I bought my Surge from the US for $120NZD including postage, and at that time they were well over $300NZD in store here.

$120NZD is about $90USD at the moment (I can't remember what it was 3 years ago) and I still consider that expensive.

$90 is about the most I've paid as well. I consider that expensive too. A 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 starts at $69,550USD. I consider that expensive too. But I don't have to buy either of those products, do I?
