I bought a cheap (10 or so ) pair and they where crap Ive been using these , don't know their head and shoulders above all others but they work fine for me .
I rarely cut heavier than 6 pair and when I do I use cable cutters .
the heavy handles may be part of the issues your seeing with them falling out do you really need the ergonomic handle ? try a old standard pair and see how that works
