Garth, those are some nice cutters there. And I love finding stuff on the
side of the road and putting it to use!
I've only accidentally acquired Snap-On stuff in the past by purchasing
large lots of tools and later found it bundled in there. They make nice
stuff but outside what I'm willing t
Eric, they cut well because it appears they're actually some high fallutin'
diagonal cutters, model 388ACF Snap-On.

I often get the types mixed up as it's not something I work with
Yes, a good idea, doesn't hurt - especially for index style derailleur
housing. I keep the ends of cable that I have cut off around for that
purpose but I have hoarding instincts. If you are short on storage space
though - not strictly necessary.

I was watching a video where the guy was cutting cable housing with old cable
still in housing to prevent crushing. Good idea?

I love my bench grinder that I have used for 20 years to grind the ends of
the housing flat. I used a hand file before that.
I use the Park tool to cut cable. The Park tool to cut derailleur
(non-spiral wound) housing. The Park tool or side cutters to cut spiral
wound housing. Side cutters actua
I agree the HZ cable cutters a great for the price. rmrose: I cut with the
HZ and then crimp with a pair of Knipex diagonal cutters. Not a crimping
tool, but a cutting tool. With finesse you can get good crimps with
diagonal cutters, I believe lots of mechanics use them.

I found a pair of Snap-On Linesman pliers along the side of the road a
couple years ago. I already had some Park cable/housing cutters from the
80's which were nothing to write home about, and some Shimano cutters which
weren't much better desite their overpriced tag. The Linesman pliers,

I have a pair of Park cable cutters - bought about ten years ago. Then I
saw Mark Abele using Felco cable cutters. The Felco are not cheap, but they
cut Yokozuna Reaction cable housing rather handily this week.

Richard, I have used mine a few times and it cut cleanly. Design reminds me
of the Felco cable cutter which costs several times as much. Steve

Anyone using this tool? I assume it works on cable housing as well as inner
cables? It does not seem to have the "un-crimping" function of the Park
tool but its only $20.00. The Pedro tool looks ok also. What are folks
using?
