I'll start out by saying this is not the lowest price ever on this, but I'm posting this because it's such an outstanding deal for a Made in Japan Tsunoda wire rope cutter that is essentially a copy of the Knipex 95 61 150, which sells for more than twice this price (or more). So, if you were considering the Knipex version, but held off due to price, it's hard to beat this price for what you get. Amazon reviews are overall excellent with almost 3k people reviewing this and only 2% of reviews giving them a 1 or 2 star rating. Currently Amazon shows only 3 left, so not sure if this will sell out or Amazon will allow backorders - but I'd jump on it if you want one.
- Cutting Capacity : Iron wire rope φ0.16-inch (4mm) / Stainless wire rope φ0.12-inch (3mm)
- Cutting wire rope cleanly, without becoming loose.
- One-action unlock system loaded.
- Ready to use with single grasping after taking up from the tool sack.
- Made in Japan.

In terms of this deal, I sort of like the WC-200's spring mechanism better. I don't see that telescoping steel sheathed style too often. The Knipex mini cobolt cutters have it.

This is slightly above normal price, and how many people here could possibly actually need one of these anyway? But it's +20 right now because OMG it's Japanese!

As a commercial overhead door mechanic i will have to try these in the 9 inch version. Felco c7 are like $65 and of course they wear out eventually as i cut cable (wire rope) all the time. Ive been jus using a longer dual handle version for awhile cuz i was tired of buying the handhelds at their $65 price. A lot of the cheaper ones will cut but quickly start fraying every cut and then your struggling to get the fittings on. Hopefully these work better like the felco for less then half the price.
I was curious so quick searching you'd need something like this which is rated to 1/2" (~12mm): https://www.amazon.com/Tsunoda-WC-450-Wire-Cutter-Steel/dp/B002RDDM58/ [amazon.com]
The best solution to those types of bike locks is a bottle of 'pass out' juice. Then you just effortlessly take the key and open the lock without any damage.

This thing looks perfect for cutting guitar strings. I'm going to get one and see.

Oh, sorry! Bicycle cables
I own the Knipex version of these and they're excellent cutters (precise and clean) for any bike cables - derailleur or brake.
