      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.

      Comments about Park Pro Cable/Housing Cutter:

      While at my local REI picking up some parts this cutter caught my eye.
      I consider myself a tool nut. Gotta have tools!!!
      Upon cursory examination the tool appeared to be well constructed.

      Well to make a long story short.. the cutter smashed the cable! My teeth could have made a better cut.

      There were only a few strands that were cut. Tried adjusting ate cutter in accordance with the instructions and still no clean cut.

      Now to be fair this tool may be defective, but to say the least it will be returned.

      Thank goodness I tested the tool on an old piece if cable and not the newly installed one.

      I will include a piece to cable with the returned product.
