Draper Expert 190mm Wire Rope Cutter 5mm Max | 1.5mm Max Cutting Spring Wire Capacity | SK5 High Carbon Steel Blades | Vinyl Grips | Safety Lock | 57768

Bought this at same time as a different and larger pair of cutters from a shop and these cut much better and I have already stopped using the larger other brand ones as they started fraying cables when trying to cut gear and brake cables but these do it clean and quick.Definitely worth buying, there is a very small latch on one side of the cutters you need to unlatch to use them.....took me a while before I realised as its hard to notice if you don't know theres one there. Once I realised it was there I was surprised I didn't see it sooner.Feels well made and does its job very well, cuts bicycle brake and gear cables very well.

Great sharp cutter, does its job well and its very easy to cut with it.

Used on a few cuts of 4mm Stainless Steel garden trellis wire rope. Cut clean enough without flattening the wire, but 4mm is the limit of its ability on stainless and required a lot of effort to cut.

Used primarily for cutting lots of cable ties, and it does it well and super efficiently.

Purchased these Drapers for cutting cycle gear shifter cables at a third the cost of the similar ParkTool CN-10. These Drapers are rated to cut up to 5mm of steel rope. They cut through 1.2mm stainless steel rope inner wire and the 4mm SP41 steel rope outer casing, smooth and clean like a hot knife through butter. The cut was accurate and instant with zero crushing, deformation or unravelling of either cable. Usage was easy leaving a clean end for the ferrules and end caps to push on, and the inner cable to slide through. After 5-10 snips, the cutting edge showed zero marks / damage. The only thing these cutters don’t have that the Park Tool does is the crimpers, but any pliers will crimp soft aluminium end caps. All in all, these are great cable cutters and well worth the money.

Used for cutting bike cable and outer! Cuts really well with little deformation of the cable housing!

Very well made and easy to use. Will need to have a big hand in order to cut anything around 5mm thick as the grip ends us so wide, but they'll easily cuts through it. The grip is standard plastic coating but is comfy enough and they don't slip. Well worth the money if you need a clean cut on some wire rope.

I bought these to cut cycle cables and they did the job very well. I would have no issue in recommending them
