I'm looking to invest in some bicycle wire / cable cutters. Should I go for the £30 park tool ones or can you recommend others of the same / better quality of another brand for cheaper?
I've just been in the same situation as you! The guy at the LBS said that there was a better value selection at the B&Q across the road from them. So, I ended up buying the JCB extra leverage wire cutters from there. Cuts cleanly through all my cable and outers when I re cabled my bike. £15 saved too
i bought the park ones and they are rubbish
best with a good set of sparky's pliers
the ones with the blades in the hinge ,as this cuts inner cable
the best , and use the blade in the jaws for outer
prolly as suggested above
