Can does anyone know where I can get a cheap hose cutter?
I don't really want to spend £40 on something I'm not going to use much!
Cheers, Chris

Stanley knife with a nice new blade, a flat surface and a bit of elbow grease. Use a coctail stick afterwards to make the bore round again

wrap where you'll cut tightly with masking tape - it helps prevent fraying.

I used to use a hacksaw with a new blade on car braided hoses.

Whatever you use to cut gear outers will cut braided hoses.
Or an angle grinder.

The best way (other than a proper hose saw) is to wrap it with masking tape then cut it with an angle grinder with the thinnest cutting disc you can find.

Even new hacksaw blades leave a ragged edge and cable cutters will crush the ptfe inner which isn't the end of the world but means you have to mess about squashing it back into shape!
