I hate cutting the wire to make hanging cages. it hurts my hands to cut it. do you know of any tools to make it cut faster?

Are you using proper wire cutters? I find even using good quality wire cutters, my hands still hurt after a while

Yea, it depends on the thickness of the write and what you're cutting it with.

Apart from proper wire cutters there's nothing really I find it really hurts my hands after a while too. Doing it in summer seems to help as my hands are less sore/frozen, but it's often not possible to wait for warmer weather!

Use protective DIY gloves and buy a pair of 'tin snips' to make the cutting easier
