Park Tool Professional Cable & Housing Cutter - CN-10C Review

This is a great cutter! I usually only work on my own bike but occasionally do minor work on friends' bikes. I have a decent collection of bike tools, most of them made by Park. I already had a standard (lighter weight) cable and housing cutter and it performs well but I decided to splurge and buy this one this year. It's definitely a "shop quality" tool. If you cut a lot of housings and cables, you'll appreciate the heft and precision of this cutter! It's a little expensive for the home mechanic but should last forever and will pay for itself many times over.

If you've ever tried using a flat edged cutter to cut bike cables, you probably understand why this type of cutter is much preferred. The flat edge tends to spread the individual wires at the cut, causing them to fray and become harder to work with. You can twist them back together but when trying to feed the cable through a narrow housing and the tiny hole in the housing cap/end, it can become a pain and also affect the overall durability of the cable at that end. Then you also have the flat crimping of the cable housing, once you muscle through it. The curved cutters like these squeeze the cable/housing from all sides and give you a round cut. This helps prevent fraying and does a much nicer job with the housings. They also reduce the effort involved.

This is just the right tool for the job and well worth the money!
