    You don't need any special tools. Having said that.... what grade
    titanium do you have? It is a bit of a generic term. Grade 1 no
    sweat, grade five good luck. We have used the same wire cutters,
    shears here for decades. No big deal. Don't buy the cheapest tools
    you can find, you get what you pay for. Don't imagine this is going
    to be harder then it is. Ti. will have more spring back then you are
    used to but, like I said it is no big deal. Get to work, see what it
    is like, it will be different, it may change the way you work, if
    you wear out a tool I say great! Your making stuff and maybe even
    selling it WAAAHOOO! Please, please wear out a pair (why is one a
    pair?) of pliers! Bill
