Park Tool CN-10 Pro Cable and Housing Cutter Tool

Not cheap but work perfectly. I'll never need to buy another cable/ hose cutter. Recommended.

This tool was a present for my cycling-mad husband. He'd been struggling to cut cables when building and repairing bikes as regular snips just bend and mangle them. However, he says this Cable and Housing Cutter Tool makes the job 'effortless'. No more ruined cables! The tool slices through them in a second leaving the ends neat and ready to install. We highly recommend this tool. It made a most acceptable gift and is great value for money.

It’s a Park Tool. It does what it says very well and will probably do so for years

I maintain a number of cycles for myself and others when asked. Previously, I have used other manufacturers' wire cutting tools but as they were showing signs of wear, it was time to get some new ones! The main question for potential purchasers is whether the price tag is warranted. Park Tools may seem expensive (and I only own two or three) but you do get what you pay for; my Park Tools branded stuff always looks and feels well made. I used these cutters for the first time replacing gear cables on a mountain bike. They made the job a breeze - the cable cuts were clean, neat, tidy. The cables showed no sign of flattening or unravelling; this made threading the new cables through their outer casings a doddle! Cutting the outers to size produced similarly good results - there was a slight amount of flattening but this was easily fixed with a small screwdriver. Importantly for good shifting of gears, the ends of the outer casings were beautifully square. So, is around £30 too much for this tool? I think not, I think they will see some considerable use with me and it looks as if they are built to last - the cutter jaws are even adjustable to take account of wear which is a nice touch. The important thing when cutting cables for bikes is that the cut is neat with no fraying and minimal flattening these cutters meet that standard. Mangled cables and outers make the job harder and can make adjusting gears and gear changes a hit and miss affair - in that context £30 is much, much cheaper than a visit to the bike shop. My summary would be that with all tasks, the right tools really move things along and these cutters make cable changes easier. Highly recommended.

These are decent quality, although it's not the best finished tool I've had, some of the other park tools are similar, substantial but poorly finished wields. Apparently these get blunt, Personally I'd pay a little extra for a knipex unit if they made something similar, I've never known one to get blunt. I'm happy with this for the money, but it's not the super quality some of the fanboys rave about. That said some of their tools are excellent, I'm not reviewing the range

Very clean and sharp cut although I have used it only few occasions. Don't know if it's worth the price though

Really is quality and makes perfect inner and outer clean cuts.

This tool might appear expensive for what is effectively a cable cutter, but it will cut without leaving any frayed edges each and every time. Also has a handy crumper for end caps too. The importance of not having frayed edges doesnt become noticable until you are doing maintenace and realise that your diy job is so much easier when the right tools are used. Park Tool are a highly recognised and trusted brand, I have several of their items and this lives up to their reputation.

Coupe très bien les cables de dérailleurs et de freins bien net

Dyr men värd sitt pris för att klippa kablar perfekt.

calidad parktool Un poco grande, pero corta limpiamente cualquier tipo d ecable

Dopo aver provato alcuni tagliacavi economici, mi sono deciso di prendere questo in un momento che era in offerta. In effetti taglia bene, senza schiacciare ne' sbavare le guaine (che comunque conviene poi allargare un poco con un punteruolo). Ottimo taglio anche sui cavi. A prezzo pieno forse un po' caro.

Wie von Park Tool gewohnt super Qualität. Züge und Hüllen lassen sich schneiden ohne großen Kraftaufwand und vorallem und das ist das wichtigste, sind die Züge nicht ausgefranst und die Hüllen nicht gequetscht. Einwandfrei!!! Hinter der Schneide ist eine Fläche um Endthüllen uff die Züge zu krimpen. Und diese Halten auch fest. Also eine Zange für alles was Züge und hüllen betrifft. Die Bemerkung eines anderen Kunden, dass die Zange zu groß sei und sich selbst mit großen Händen nicht weit genug öffnen lässt, kann ich absolut NICHT bestätigen. Ich habe Handschuhgröße 10 und DM die Zange wunderbar mit einer Hand bedienen. Das Geld ist hier definitiv gut investiert!
