emergencycutting pliers

[gone fishin]

This may sound redundant, but due to my getting a hook in my palm today I need to get a emergency type of pliers that will cut a 6X hook.
I caught a feisty chopper and while removing a hook, the blue did a hard shake and a hook sunk in my palm. I was lucky and was able to push it through to access the point and exposing the barb. I didn't have pliers strong enough to cut the hook at the curve and had to ask for help from a fellow fisherman. He had a pair of electricians pliers and was able to cut the hook with much effort and I pulled the hook back out.
My question is what type of plier will cut that heavy a hook easily. I want to get a pair to carry in the sled for emergency purposes. Any suggestions?? --- Other than dumb ass for getting hooked!
