With a bolt cutter, I would get the job done. You can get them in different sizes, but I would get at least an 18"
With this cutter, you won't need a reamer. I think it's the best blade on the market, it cuts very sharp and neatly. As long as you never use it for anything else, it will last for quite a while.
While I haven't tried it personally, I do not see why it is not a good idea. most cycling cables have a 1x7, 1x19, or 1x31 arrangement (occasionally was there a 7x19 scheme, though I haven't encountered it) @ o. The thickness is 6mm (I think), and the compression is 10mm In a less housing, there are about 20 strands, and the cutter is able to cut through all of them easily. As 2mm is not that much larger than cable, it should not be a problem, even though it's rope (instead of cable). The best thing to do would be to take the plunge.
be able to cut through it, but it should not be used for such things. You need a plastic clamp and a sharp blade to clamp hydraulic hose
Selected User Reviews For Park Tool CN-10 Pro Cable and Housing Cutter Tool
I have not had a similar experience with other cable cutters. The Park Tool cable cutters appear well made and comfortable to hold, but the performance is completely different. In the afternoon, I used the cutter a few times, and found that after a few cuts it would not slice through stainless control cable without leaving several strands bent. There was no clean-cut cable end to be seen with that cutter. With this tool, I tightened the cutters and lubricated the pivot, but I still could not get a clean cut. I tossed the Park Tool Cutters in the garbage since I was so frustrated and disgusted with the product, that I didn't even bother returning it Now that I have a Felco C7 cable cutter (Made in Switzerland), I am very satisfied with its ability to cut straight every time. I would recommend not buying inferior Chinese made Park Tools, rather, spend the extra dollars on the Swiss made Felco cutter.
While the description says "clean cut" it is still no more precise While working with Shimano brake cables, I found I had to always finish the cut with proper cutting pliers and a file. Everything was messed up, starting from the spiral metal housing that bent all the way to the outer plastic and rubber coatings. My bike skills are not great and I am not sure what a professional cable cutting tool should look like, but most use scissors design with offset blades, so the cable first bends rather than going through it as a whole. The following is the result when using regular cutting pliers I have also observed that it squeezes the cable before cutting, which may not be a good thing, but not nearly as bad as that. It seems that brake cable would deform much faster at the hands of pliers than with any other tool, and you can get decent quality made in USA pliers for half the price of pliers made in Europe.
It is Park Tool that proves its usefulness once again. The oddly named company from offered an affordable option for bike repair tools, just as I had done with many other bike repair tools. There were no problems with the tool anywhere, but it barely worked. When it comes to cutting bike cables and housing, you need a clean cut. Anything less will result either in wire shards on your floor that hurt my socks (gosh, that hurts!) or a cable that's too short after re-cutting Get the money out and spend it. There are legitimate reasons for the higher price and Park knows what they are doing. The quality of what you receive will absolutely match the price you pay.
My 30 year old Park tools are still going strong, while the more recent items are not up to par. Cutters, good to see you. These are mainly used for cutting cable and they produce a clean end that is fray free. In general, they do not do well at cutting housing, leaving a sharp protruding edge or deforming the packaging. You should slide an old cable into the housing before cutting if you want to keep the shape preserved. Even so, it usually takes two hours to repair a housing. The housing has to be a little longer than I need in order to be clean enough to finish with a file, so I always begin by making it a little longer than I will It is often better to use a Dremel tool with a cutoff disk to face a vertical surface.
The housing of these cable cutters is crushed, so your brake cable gets caught within the squished opening, causing the brake to lock up. The cable cutters might be a mistake, but they seem to be As there is only one way to use them, I doubt that'll be the case. I adjusted it using the center screw per the instructions, but no matter how I adjusted it, it always crushed the housing.
I was not quite as impressed as I expected with the tool when I received it. In the beginning, I made a few clean cuts, but as time went on it became more difficult. Initially, I thought it might have been my technique or the product I was cutting, but even after cutting different brands and types of cables and housings, at different speeds and at different speeds, I still didn't think the results were.

The cutters have four blades. I will always cherish my legacy at CN park Wear and a lack of sizing affected four cutters On the right side of the photo we can see the old cutter. In the photo, you can see my director of quality control, who is constantly on the lookout for problems. A CN-type line was used in the past It would cut brake and derailleur cables good with a pair of four cutters, but any cable housing would get messed up. My regular job is wrenching on bikes, and I used my Makita 18V battery grinder with a cutoff wheel for cable housing, but even that was messy and I needed to ream every cable housing I cut with both my old CN- and my new CN-L. The cut off wheel and the 4's are Makitas. My Park CN came to $40 - I dropped $40 on it I spent $10 on 10 cutters, and I am glad I did. The Park cable cutters/crimpers are designed to cut all bike related cables and housings without a hassle. In addition to cable ends and housing ends, they can also crimp various cable On a few occasions, I need to use the Swiss Army knife reamer on the outer housings of cables Shimano cables, for instance, sometimes do not have a very clean cut because of the inner lining. I used to own a The 4 was very limited in what it could cut cleanly, and cable housing was not included in the deal, so the new investment was necessary. In the photo you can see the new CN-110 A CN-80 next to my 10 cutters from the 1980s The cutters have four blades. Because I can't find a better cutter to work with lined outer cables, I would have knocked off one star, but I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 because of the hit/miss. An unqualified 5 out of 5. The Park tool was, overall, a good use of money, as are many Park tools. Here is what I hope will help!.
