Cable cutter tool to borrow?

Does anybody have a cable cutter/end crimper that I can borrow? - I'm buildng my dad an ss for christmas, but they cost £25! Happy to pick up anywhere - Ta.

I've one but I'm in Cov.

got one, but its my favourite/only decent tool.

Are you going to polo on saturday? Can give you then.

no, I gotta do christmas shopping. It's not too urgent - I don't have the cables yet.

Take the built up bike to your LBS I doubt they'd quibble over chopping the cables down for you...?

ye I know - but I wanna do it myself cos then I learn how to do it - it was the same with wheelbuilding etc

understood :)

There's a special tool for that? I always just use a bog standard pair of pliers.

suggest a time ben and ill see if i can lend you it.

Ditto... cable cutters have a crimping hole on the inside though too.

How?

Normal Pliers totally crush outers & leave inners in a splayed frayed mess.

I have some minature bolt cutters that do the job well, but have tried tons of different pliers & none worked.

I also have a pair of park cable cutters.
