These are not on offer or anything (£7.99 is the usual price), but I bought these 8" cable cutters recently and have found them to be perfect for cutting cable inner and outer with absolutely no trouble and a nice clean finish (some of the reviews are from people who have bought them for the same purpose and they have also been very positive, which is why I went for them). Most cutters sold specifically for bike cables seem to be at least double the price, and most more than that again. So I would say a bargain compared to some of the alternatives!

these are also pretty good apart from the red bits needing glueing on to the handles a bit better! Have cut inner and and outer and there is a little doobry for clearing the nylon from the inner hole before you push the cable through. Obviously, not going to last...

That's cheap. I've found them great for the outer cables but they are denting a little with the thicker inner brake cable.

These are ment for copper wire....they even cut the wraped armour wire ok but stainless inners will dent the cutting edge :(
 
Looks like the price drop might be because it's out of stock (discontinued?), at least every store near me is. Shame, I would have bought a couple more!
