Long handles =less pain. Went to harbor freight got a pair of 12in cutters and no complaints. I mounted them to my bench so all i need to do is push down and itll dent with little strain
Id have to agree with the hollow point existing design idea. Or maybe even a kit to make your own with different tips/cavity depths&widths
