How do you use the wire cutter tool? I use Focus and see the wires, but when I approach them, there's no prompt to cut them. I figured they'd work the same as the wrench, which gets used automatically when you approach a grate or other object that requires that tool and interact with it. I also see wire junction boxes near the traps, however when I approach them nothing happens. What am I missing?

Ok, user misunderstanding on this. I guess I haven't actually gotten to a trap that requires the wire cutters, I've only encountered pressure plates which are disabled by following their wires to a switch to disable them. Sometimes this switch is nearby, other times it is a distance away. – Alan Apr 21 '14 at 03:50

I finally figured it out. Use Focus to follow the wires for pressure plates, trunks, safes, etc. They'll sometimes lead you to a panel and when you interact with it, the wire cutters are automatically used to snip a wire and disable all of the traps attached to it. In some cases, this panel is several rooms away from the traps. The first one I encountered like this was in Oxheart Perry's residence for the Silence is Golden quest.
