Cutting leads in tight places

Fred (FL)
I found, to do neat Bottom devices - I would pre-bend
device leads ahead of time.  And I would then trim
devices leads, so that they extended just enough up
and above the PCB board's top surface before I
installed device.  Then carefully hold the device
against the PCB board's bottom surface - and then
slightly and gently, bend each lead - in order to keep
device in place.  Then sold from board's top!

After a while, I got pretty good at allowing very
short device leads, from poking thru on top!
