My father in law used my Park side cutters as pliers to hold something and absolutely fucked them. I sharpened them and they're better than new but I'll probably get some Knipex ones soon.
Housings, side cutters and an awl is about all you need. If the awl can't open up the liner, pushing the new cable through the other end usually works. Filing the housing ends flat if you're a pro/can be arsed
