I have a pair of US PRO ones that work as they should. Got a lot of use when I was on recovery doing roadside stuff

Super high quality, think lindstrom but more economical.
Got a selection of these for electronics work, nobody is allowed near them.

Mid range - Knipex super knips:

Not got a set myself but I know a lot of lads who rate them.

On a budget - or want something you don't cry over when the apprentice tries to cut a screw with them:
Piergiacomi TRE-03-NB.

I have multiple pairs of these in different tool bags and they are great for cable ties or control/alarm/data wiring.

I like the Piergiacomi's. Cracking little snips.

Same here, have a few pairs and they are very good for the price.
Those schimtz ones MetalMonkey posted don't seem crazy prices.

there are proper made cable tie pullers with a built in blade....I like mine a lot...

The pistol type Frank refers to are best - squeeze the handle and twist the gun at the same time - ensures the cut ends up just inside the lock.

BTW there are some very cheap flush cuts out there made from mild steel.
