Park CN-10 Cable/Housing Cutter

Review of the Park CN-10 Cable/Housing Cutter:

I used my Park CN-10 cutters to install Jagwire Ripcord shifter and brake cables on my mountain bike. There is no way I could have gotten the job done without them. They cut right through the tough housings without smashing the ends to bits.

Review of the Park CN-10 Cable/Housing Cutter:

I used the Park CN-10 Cable Cutters almost every day, and they definitely get the job done. As long as you only use them to cut cables and housing, they stay sharp for many years.

Review of the Park CN-10 Cable/Housing Cutter:

I installed a new cable kit on my bike today but before I got started I went out and bought this tool to cut the housing and cables. I found that after cutting the rear derailure section of housing that these cutters lost their sharpness and they started fraying the cables and had a hard time cutting through the housing. I resorted back to an older set of wire cutters from home depot to finish cutting the cables. I was forced to finish using these cutters for the housing since my regular wire cutters couldn't cut through it, but they didn't cut nearly as clean or as easily as at first.
I know park tool makes good products so I'll give them credit and say that maybe this set of cutters just slipped by the Quality Assurance staff, but for $25 I'm pretty disapointed.

Review of the Park CN-10 Cable/Housing Cutter:

To amend my previous review. I brought these cutters back to the tree fort just to make sure that my poor experience with these wasn't just user error. Two of the tree fort mechanics used the pair of cutters I had bought and said that mine were indeed defective. They also showed me how a good pair should cut and I must say the good set of cutters did a really good job! I will raise my previous review of 1 star up to 4 stars. I'd give it a higher review, but as of yet I'm not sold on the durability of the tool.
To tree forts credit, they took the tool back and reimbursed me for my expense.
