Park Tool CN-10 Pro Cable and Housing Cutter Tool

Really is quality and makes perfect inner and outer clean cuts.

excellent tool. clean cuts, crimper works well too.

I maintain a number of cycles for myself and others when asked. Previously, I have used other manufacturers' wire cutting tools but as they were showing signs of wear, it was time to get some new ones! The main question for potential purchasers is whether the price tag is warranted. Park Tools may seem expensive (and I only own two or three) but you do get what you pay for; my Park Tools branded stuff always looks and feels well made. I used these cutters for the first time replacing gear cables on a mountain bike. They made the job a breeze - the cable cuts were clean, neat, tidy. The cables showed no sign of flattening or unravelling; this made threading the new cables through their outer casings a doddle! Cutting the outers to size produced similarly good results - there was a slight amount of flattening but this was easily fixed with a small screwdriver. Importantly for good shifting of gears, the ends of the outer casings were beautifully square. So, is around £30 too much for this tool? I think not, I think they will see some considerable use with me and it looks as if they are built to last - the cutter jaws are even adjustable to take account of wear which is a nice touch. The important thing when cutting cables for bikes is that the cut is neat with no fraying and minimal flattening these cutters meet that standard. Mangled cables and outers make the job harder and can make adjusting gears and gear changes a hit and miss affair - in that context £30 is much, much cheaper than a visit to the bike shop. My summary would be that with all tasks, the right tools really move things along and these cutters make cable changes easier. Highly recommended.

These are decent quality, although it's not the best finished tool I've had, some of the other park tools are similar, substantial but poorly finished wields. Apparently these get blunt, Personally I'd pay a little extra for a knipex unit if they made something similar, I've never known one to get blunt. I'm happy with this for the money, but it's not the super quality some of the fanboys rave about. That said some of their tools are excellent, I'm not reviewing the range

its park tool good clean cut

It keeps happening. I keep buying cheaper tools, they wear out super quickly, or break, and I spend more money on a Park Tool piece and it's just perfect, and I should've bought it at the start and saved some money and frustration. It's a cliché guys but buy cheap, buy twice. This stuff is really robust, they are expensive but everything I've bought from them has been super robust and perfect for the job. Some tools can be bought cheaply and it won't matter (like spanners). Some stuff though, like bottom bracket wrenches, allen keys, snips like these, stuff where softer metal can round off and become cumbersome or damage your bike... Do yourself a favour and just buy the expensive one right at the start.

This tool might appear expensive for what is effectively a cable cutter, but it will cut without leaving any frayed edges each and every time. Also has a handy crumper for end caps too. The importance of not having frayed edges doesnt become noticable until you are doing maintenace and realise that your diy job is so much easier when the right tools are used. Park Tool are a highly recognised and trusted brand, I have several of their items and this lives up to their reputation.

This tool was a present for my cycling-mad husband. He'd been struggling to cut cables when building and repairing bikes as regular snips just bend and mangle them. However, he says this Cable and Housing Cutter Tool makes the job 'effortless'. No more ruined cables! The tool slices through them in a second leaving the ends neat and ready to install. We highly recommend this tool. It made a most acceptable gift and is great value for money.

Producto muy útil para el mantenimiento de la bicicleta

calidad parktool Un poco grande, pero corta limpiamente cualquier tipo d ecable

What can I say it's a Parktool very sharp and such good quality I'm very happy with this purchase.

Dopo aver provato alcuni tagliacavi economici, mi sono deciso di prendere questo in un momento che era in offerta. In effetti taglia bene, senza schiacciare ne' sbavare le guaine (che comunque conviene poi allargare un poco con un punteruolo). Ottimo taglio anche sui cavi. A prezzo pieno forse un po' caro.

Using the right tool for the specific task makes a significant difference. This tool is truly well-built and worth the investment. It has a spring-loaded operation with a clean design, eliminating any obstructions since the springs are internal. These cutters are super satisfying to use.
