I used to use these, but had too many instances when I actually cut (broke?) 
the joint off which I'd assumed was due to the clippers getting dull. Since 
then, I just use those tiny diagonal cutters (which work great) but I often 
think about getting those bent nose cutters designed for this purpose.

Hey! How bad is to use the old Kester 44 without defluxing -- not MOTM but 
general circuits (bad, not good, great)? The only time I've seen a problem is 
around hot areas on boards (after a long time) where the flux has really 
flowed around other components.
