What cable cutters do you like

my cable cutters (probably 10 years old) are now too dull to cut cables. Looking to buy a pair that make nice cuts. What is your preference?

Did you tighten them up a bit? I was just getting ready to toss my 20 year old set but tried tightening them up a tweak. Shazam, they cut just like they’re new again. I’ve done at least 10 cuts since tightening them and they still are working perfectly.

Thanks everyone! I’ll try tightening mine up a bit first and if that doesn’t work looks like park tools gets the majority!

I like the Felco C7. I haven’t used the Park model, but internet-lore said the Felco was the best available.

Used cheap HW store ones for years and it’s amazing how nice it is to have the right tool finally.

That’s the one I have. Works great.

Just picked up a pair of Felco C7’s as well after reading said internet-lore. Nothing to compare them too but they cut very easily. Picked up a used pair on eBay from a guy selling lots of them for about $20 shipped to my door. Might be worth a look.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Shimano cable cutters.

There is Shimano and then there is everyone else. Not even close…

Dremel Tool with a cut-off wheel. Easy, fast, no fraying.
