Park Tool - A Cut Below
The Park Tool Cable cutters appear to be well made and comfortable in the hand, performance has been an entirely different experience.
I used the cutter a few times one afternoon and found that after a few cuts it would not cut stainless control cable without leaving several strands bent and uncut, it absolutely refused to produce a clean usable cable end. I tightened the cutters, lubricated the pivot and still could not obtain a clean cut with this tool. In frustration and disgust I threw the Park Tool Cutters in the garbage, I didn't even bother returning this inferior offshore product to Amazon. I have now purchased a Felco C7 cable cutter (Made In Switzerland) and have been very satisfied with it's ability to make a clean cut every time.
Do not bother with the inferior Chinese made Park Tool, spend the extra dollars on Swiss quality Felco cutters, you won't be disappointed and will have a tool that performs it's function without issues .
