Hi all,
I am looking at buying a fiber cleaver,
I bought a crimper second hand pretty cheap however it didn't come with a cleaver,
I have been looking on ebay and see some as cheap as £17 ($22), there are some other cheap ones that go for around £50 ($65)
Has anyone had any experience with these? - It will be very lightly used - just want to have one in my arsenal or am I better with a branded one like a Fujikura?
Thanks in advance

Some tools you can skimp on more than others. A fiber cleaver is not one of them. The better the cleaver the better the connection and overall fiber system quality/reliability. You will regret purchasing a cheap cleaver.

1+ on this. Buy a good one and take good care of it.
