Park Tool Professional Cable and Housing Cutter CN-10C

The Park Tool CN-10C Professional Cable and Housing Cutter is a dedicated bicycle workshop tool designed for cutting both gear and brake cables and their outer housing. It is engineered to handle the tough, coiled steel construction of modern index shift housing, providing a clean, precise cut without fraying the cable ends or crushing the housing. This makes it an essential tool for home mechanics and professional workshops alike when performing cable replacements or new bike builds. Constructed from cold-forged and heat-treated steel, the handles offer exceptional strength and durability. The precision-ground cutting jaws are specifically angled to shear through cables cleanly and slice housing without deformation. Additional practical features include a built-in crimper for securing cable end caps and a forming hole to neatly reshape the ends of cut housing or ferrules. The tool also has dual-density, contoured moulded grips for comfort during use and a wire latch to keep the handles securely closed when stored. This cutter is best suited for cyclists who perform their own maintenance, from simple brake adjustments to complete cable overhauls. Its professional-grade construction ensures it can withstand regular use, making it a long-term investment for any home workshop. The ability to cleanly cut both cables and housing with one tool simplifies many common bicycle servicing tasks, helping to ensure smooth gear shifting and reliable braking performance after cable work is completed.
