Heavy duty wire cutters?

Submitted by LLCoolSouder t3_1282sck in BuyItForLife

I've broken not one, but TWO wire cutters (linked below) on the first day of use. I'm building a fence, so I'm working with 10 and 12.5 guage galvanized steel wire. I really don't want to drive back to the store for yet another return, so I'm looking for the absolute best alternative.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

I went with the Knipex Cobolt wire cutters. They're noticeably sturdier (or at least heavier), and so far they haven't had trouble with anything I've thrown at them. 10/10 (and I judge expensive name brand stuff way harder)

Of the two, I would definitely go with the compact bolt cutters.

Both of them broke on the first go. Surprisingly the compact bolt cutters broke faster.

I need an alternative.
