    Got to cut some tonight – done it before and it’s always been a faff, so looking for some advice!

    I had this issue last week. Done a search and saw a few tips –

    Use a dremel and cutting disk – rubbish the heat makes the plastic core swell and expands the metal brade.
    Use a hacksaw – same issue as above, plus takes ages

    I used my park wire cutters but made sure that the hose remained in as much of s straight line as possible when cutting. I also used a screwdriver to hold the olive open a little more when I placed it on the hose.

    A new Stanley knife blade. Work your way around the hose. Keeps it neat and stops it deforming the end.

    Hose or cable cutter will give you a tidy finish.

    Put olive on first then cut the hose with a decent set of cable cutters.
