CN-10 Professional Cable and Housing Cutter | Park Tool CN-10 Bike Cable & Housing Cutter with Crimper & Dual-Density Grips

I’ve read comments about this product saying it wasn’t worth it or if broke, idk how it seems very robust it’s heavy and feels of quality the grip fits my hands it’s easy to use and gave me continuous clean cuts

Honestly I can't think of a single Park Tool device that has ever found a way to disappoint me, and this is no exception. Sturdy and heavy with a nice grippy.... grip. It cuts through brake/shift cables like it's nothing, the cut is clean and the ends stay in place, and crimping is simple and easy. Happy to support a company in the USA that manufactures most of their own products, when that company also represents top quality.

Using the right tool for the specific task makes a significant difference. This tool is truly well-built and worth the investment. It has a spring-loaded operation with a clean design, eliminating any obstructions since the springs are internal. These cutters are super satisfying to use.

An excellent set of cable cutters and crimpers. Very well made and easy to use. They don't leave as clean of a cut on the cable housing, though, but I suspect this is a problem with any set of cable cutters.

In a nutshell, these work great but cost too much. I bought a set of control cable cutters because ordinary diagonals tend to crush the outer cable housings of bicycle control cables. They cut, but it can take a considerable effort to get the end of the housings round again so the inner cable passes through without binding. That's where these cutters come in. They don't mash the cable housings flat. It saves a lot of time. This tool makes a nice cut on the inner cables too--no fraying. They work very nicely. Only complaint: this tool seems over-priced.

Best quality and lasts a long time.

02-01-2026 purchased the PARK CN-10 tool for a custom trike I am building, (throttle cable). Just for fun I cut the throttle cable with a sharp diag cutter. After three tries the cable did cut but not very neat. The Park tool cut the cable the first try and very, very nice clean cut. OK- I'm sold. Now I put a cable end cap on the cable and used the Park tool to crimp the end cap. So, so easy. Let's see if the end cap is secure. I cut the cable with the Park tool and put the wire end of the cable in my vise and tried to remove the end cap. That baby is on there. Yep- Sold again. ( Good day in the shop)

This tool gets the job done. I found, in my use, that its size can make using it a little bit cumbersome. I got done what I needed to get done, and the tool does a good job of cutting cables and housing. Its size, for my use, made it a bit tricky to get the tool to where it needed to be to cut the cable once I had gotten my cable in place and clamped down on my brakes. I got it to work, and it worked great in cutting the cable. No splaying of the cable and no errant long stragglers after cutting, all strands were cut nice and neat. This tool has the added feature of having two sizes of crimpers to crimp down cable end caps. Both crimpers are perfectly sized so there is no worry about over compressing the crimping end caps, causing over crushing of the end caps or cables. An added point about cutting housing. I cut high quality Jagwire housing. Even then after cutting you must take care to clear the cut end. Meaning you have to file away the metal wrap surround of the housing, from the pinched cut end, and ream out the compression inherent in cutting housing so you end up with a clean open round end. Cleaning up your cut end will make all the difference.

Coupe très bien les cables de dérailleurs et de freins bien net

Very good tool. More expensive than most but worth the money. Cuts cables clean and crimps the ends perfectly.

Dyr men värd sitt pris för att klippa kablar perfekt.

calidad parktool Un poco grande, pero corta limpiamente cualquier tipo d ecable

Dopo aver provato alcuni tagliacavi economici, mi sono deciso di prendere questo in un momento che era in offerta. In effetti taglia bene, senza schiacciare ne' sbavare le guaine (che comunque conviene poi allargare un poco con un punteruolo). Ottimo taglio anche sui cavi. A prezzo pieno forse un po' caro.
