    Always borrow my mates Park cutters but would like to be more self-sufficient.

    Apart from Park, can anyone recommend decent cable cutters?

    Thanks.

    Knipex are good gear/brake cable cutters, not for gear/brake outers though.

    TBH Park quality is probably going to cost Park prices and is worth paying for IMO.

    just FYI, I have the Park ones and really wouldn’t recommend them. They don’t really cut gear cable well unless too tight to close 🙁

    My Shimano ones are about 10 years old and still give a good clean cut. I use them on cables, outers and brake hoses

    I’ve had a set from bikehut for 10yrs now as above used on cables outers and hoses. Still sharp as and look like they’ve never been used.

    I’ve got some x-tools one and they’re absolutely fine. For a lot of things, paying the Park tax isn’t really worth it.

    Superstar ones here for a year or so.
    Good cutters with a handy pointy thing to open out the ends.

    CK Cable cutters from Screwfix. Mine were able to trim mudguard stays. I don’t think bike tool suppliers have a monopoly on how to cable.

    Pretty sure it’s the IceTools ones I have. Can’t fault them really.
