Excellent pliers..You can cut so close with those.A flush cutter like on the left.

i do that also if i cant find one littering the bench that is long enough . they come out of that pile of odd ones that need sorting outI usually do that. Everytime I sacrifice a junk resistor for a bit of jumper wire.
Yep. I have a coffee can under the bench. Full of ammo taped grab bag purchase years ago.-- odd ball values like 6M8 Ω and the like.i do that also if i cant find one littering the bench that is long enough . they come out of that pile of odd ones that need sorting out
Nope. Another order from Mouser for one flippin' resistor. I prefer DigiKey but they do not carry this particular series of resistor.
Since shipping will be the biggest cost I'll probably order extra for other one-offs I have.
OMG, now that thar is funny.
It was 3 down, 1 to go...
For low cost parts like that I usually order by the 100 if its a common value. Odd values for specific tasks I usually get 10 but I may order less for more expensive items.That is why when I buy parts, I always order 2-3 pieces more than I need to use.
Who says practice makes perfect?

Trimming leads on resistors and cut off the whole damn thing on one of them. Zero possibility to reattach. Now more days behind and flipping big (relatively) cost for a $0.25 part because I had only the exact quantity on hand.
Aargh... (insert massive explosion of expletives)!!!!!!!
