        Comments about Park Pro Cable/Housing Cutter:

        This was recommended by a kayak shop. While at REI it's in the bike repair section, this was great for cutting some steel cables to fit for kayak skeg and rudder work I did over the weekend. The break is clean, leaving no strands to snag or unravel. I highly recommend for any steel cable repair.

          Comments about Park Pro Cable/Housing Cutter:

          I have small hands, so I was happy to discover that the grip-width is adjustable - I've used cutters that were set so wide I could barely get my fingertips on them, never mind closing the grip one-handed.

          Comments about Park Pro Cable/Housing Cutter:

          I've used several cable cutting tools in my 30 years as a bike mechanic, and these are my favorite. I really like the built in cable tip crimp, but the cable house ferrule crimp is sadly poor. The Shimano cable cutting tool like this is a little better for the ferrule crimp, but the jaws on this Park are thicker. I also prefer the hidden jaw spring of this Park. The handle is thick, but the flared handle edges near the head catch on my tool bag pouch. The handle clip on the bottom of the tool gets in the way sometimes, when I forget to fold it in. A very good tool that cuts SIS cable house and all standard cables quick and clean and without fraying.

            I've used it to cut gear cables and housing on my mountain bike....and it cuts through it like butter, cut is clean, and the tool feels great in the hand.
