We added 2 - 3 foot lengths of pipe onto our wire cutters (just put them 
over the handles of the wire cutters) to give us extra leverage.  We needed 
some very sturdy 12 inch staples this year so we cut them out of #10 fencing 
wire one person cutting the other feeding the wire through.  We cut 500 wire 
pieces in no time, and nobody got worn out.

No advice there other than to go to the local hardware store, you per cut.
