Cable/housing cutter recommendation
Park,
Pedros, SRAM, or... What do you recommend? |

Knipex 95 61 190
For my money, the best without question. Knipex tools are very high quality. I have several different Knipex tools and I'm certain my grandchildren will be using them too.

After buying a budget cutter, I sprung for the Park Tools cutter and have been happy since.
I will echo the previous poster - Knipex makes solid tools. |

I had a park and now a knipex. Knipex is better but maybe not worth the money for some. Knipex does make amazing tools. The park sometimes did not give me a good cut butt I feel the knipex is more precise and I get perfect cuts more often (sometimes it messes up too)

I have a Pedro's cutter that works really well, very precise & clean cuts.

I've always had good results from my Pedro's cutter too |

Not exactly a cutter but I get the best results with a Dremel and a small abrasive cut off wheel. Clean and no rough edges.

The Shimano tool is perfect. Pricey, but perfect.

I've only used the Park. For brake housing, it occasionally curls an end in. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. (tips anyone?) I usually end up cleaning up the cut end with a dremel.
It works plenty fine for everything else. |

Me 3. I've had mine forever (though I'm sure I don't have the mileage on mine like you guys...).

I'll bet you're gonna be right about that. I too have several different Knipex tools, and they were my grandfather's. That said, I use an hoary old pair of Japanese HIT cable cutters I bought in the '80s, and I'll probably pass them along to future generations too. And, the Felco pictured above is also a super-nice tool! |
