I've seen a few descriptions of multi-tools being able to cut "hard wire". What exactly is hard wire? In my usage I have never cut anything harder than copper wire and standard steel wire.
A recent review of the Gerber Center Drive showed that the cutter bits chipped when cutting hard wire.
So, what's the max thickness of wire that the Center Drive (or any multi-tool with carbide cutter bits in the jaws) can cut?
(07 Dec. '17) ETA - I always thought that the addition of the carbide cutters was for durability, not necessarily to cut 'harder' materials.
