Ello,

I am in need of a hydro hose cutting tool.

All it's for is cutting my brake lines, tried the kitchen knife which made a right mess of them.

Any reason to get the Avid £70 one over the £10 Jagwire ?

Normal rope cutters will do the job perfectly well

I suspected something cheaper would be available.

I mean who is going to pay £70 for a sharpe blade in a fancy box !?

Very sharp chisel works well.

Not for braided though...

I used the clippers we use for our guinea pigs claws. Nice and neat and cheap from pets at home.
