get a dedicated pair of flush side cutters like this
NEVER use them on metal, make this pair only for plastic. you will always have a nice clean cutting edge for everything from removing supports to snipping filament
also get a long thin needle nose pliers, again plastic only
then maybe a pin vise and a cheap set of drill bits if you do a lot of functional prints for cleaning out bolt/pin holes quicker.
Nah, you don't want to use a tensioner, the tie will be too tight and could damage the insulation or shielding. What I use are flush cutters, they cut the tail right up against the body of the wire tie.
I don’t know exactly what type of wire cutters you used, but some tool manufacturers sell “flush” diagonal cutters like these Knipex.
The blades aren’t as strong as a traditional diagonal cutter, but are meant for precisely snipping softer materials off flush without leaving little spines benind.
