They currently have 4-piece insulated tool set, with cutters, pliers, scissors, and a knife, for $33 on special. I've been trying to talk myself into that, even though I don't do hot work anymore. Also check out the "aussie" pliers they carry. Fascinating design with bypass jaws looks like it'd eat romex a lot more easily than dikes, and the front grip means they're still useful as pliers. The rear crimp notch is just gravy. If I did any amount of house wiring I'd have a pair of those in a heartbeat.
