Demonstrating two techniques for cutting long female pin headers (with 0.1" spacing) to custom pin count.

Cheap pin headers usually come as 40pin strips and it's not obvious how to cut them without too much waste and without breaking too much of the plastic.

The methods I show here are the ones I personally found most comfortable for prototyping. I developed them myself, but of course others may have thought of them too, and there may be other techniques, even better than these.

P.S. I don't know why I said "nib" in the video, maybe I meant "nibble" :)
