This is a great cable cutter. For anyone getting into doing their own work, you'll also likely want an awl, straight pick, or even just a nail of appropriate size to make the cable liner round again after cutting. FYI this is also at Amazon for this price.

Good point. I have the Jagwire Pro cutters that have an awl built into the handle but a straight pick works perfect. Making sure the housing is round is super important for performance. Thanks for sharing the other price find!

Old school mechanics slide a piece of housing onto a spoke, bend it into a nicely shaped handle, and use a grinder to sharpen the tip.

The Pedro's cable puller, though not my favorite style, is also on sale: https://www.rei.com/product/69749...ble-puller
Also works great for snugging up zip ties.

Thanks for sharing the link. Can confirm the grinder trick works in a pinch!

Shocking how strong the cable housing is. Ended up buying a dedicated cable cutter after learning the usual wire cutter was not up to the task.
I don't know if the cheap one I purchased will last as long as these branded units. But so far, working great:

My first time cutting a housing was a disaster. Dull wire cutters, hacksaw, dremel- I was desperate to get my bike on the road but ultimately had to wait for the proper tool.

It's a useful tool for keeping your bike shifting and/or braking properly! Usually more cost effective to do bike repairs and maintenance at home vs. paying a local bike shop to do it.
