[CAUT] "Xuron" string cutting tool recommendation

[Jeff Olson]

Thanks for the "heads-up," Susan.  I guess we'll find out how it 
does in heavy use, since I intend to work it like a galley slave. 
This tool company looks like it takes it specialty tools very 
seriously.  On the basis of what I've seen, I'd consider ordering 
their tweezers or other cutting tools...
