Perhaps the wire cutter on a pair of pliers?  If you find the right
pair of pliers, you can put the leads through the deeper side of
the clipper.

I've seen devices for cutting and bending leads, but they depend
on the components in question being on a tape of some sort.

Perhaps a piece of foamcore or styrofoam?  Push the leads
through then just run along and snip them even with the surface
on the other side?

Regular cutters/nippers are taking a long time, but something as simple as a cutter with a built-in provision or stop to position the cutter-blade at the correct distance would be really helpful.  Any thoughts?
