Re: splicing scissors and wire
It may be better to use a Sharp Knife for the AP, check through the my splicing attempts thread, I am sure somebody gave the piano wire gauge there.

Re: splicing scissors and wire
If your doing a lot of splices the cost becomes Minimal. Saves a lot of time being able to cut high tech cords with ease. And pretty cheap compared to scissors that hairdressers use...
