Wanted to Borrow: Cable cutters

jackcade Use pliars only if you want to be driven insane wih rage and frustration.The trouble is that pliars will cut the cable but in doing so they have to exert lots of pressure because they aren't proper hardened steel and they're not sharp enough.You end up with a cable end that looks ok,ie unfrayed,but the pressure exerted has fucked the integrity of the cable and when you try to thread it strands start to come loose.Cue,rage and frustration.really,there's no substitute for a pair of proper Park cable cutters.

A tiny amount of solder solves that though. Depends how cheap you are and what your toolbox already holds I suppose.
