Northern Tool has a little brake and shear which is the perfect thing for
cutting smaller circuit boards.  Harbor Freight has something that looks
to be practically the same thing.  It isn't very expensive, and the brake
is nice for making small boxes, too.

The downside is that it only has a 7" throat, so it isn't good for larger
boards.  Larger shears aren't all that expensive, but they tend to take up
more space than I am willing to commit.

But after fiddling with craft knives, tin snips, hacksaws, jigsaws, this
thing is really great.  No dust, no noise, no problem with straight
lines/90 degree angles, no replacing blades every other board, and
practically no work.  Just stick the board in, pull the handle, and you
are done.
