Mine is a corded model 395 with 5 speeds. I've had it for 20+ years, although I don't use it a lot on bikes. It is nice for cutting cables, especially compression-less shift cables with the length-wise strands. You can occasionally find similar models at garage or estate sales.
With the improvement in batteries lately, the new cordless models look interesting. Ryobi has one with a flexible shaft that uses my cordless drill battery.
