Timely advice. Just got a pair of blue heeler puppies. Been using the knipex cutters for a few weeks. Hope i wont have to use them like that but i'll definitely keep them with in reach if i suspect traps. Thank you

I use these at work to cut 3/16 steel helicopter rescue hoist cable at work. IT takes quite a bit of arm strength, but the small size lets me get into the corners of a hoist drum if needed to extract a tangled wire.

Oh how I have struggled over the years cutting bowden cable for motorcycle controls, these are brilliant

That’s a beautiful tool. Love my Pedro’s bike wire snips

Felco makes a great C7 cutter that is for cables. I've been using them for 20 plus and they are the best cutters in regards to steel cables and solid strand wires.

I’ve been tempted to get those, I keep hoping I’ll catch them on tool of the day 😅

I've been using the Felco C7 for years. They are Swiss made and excellent for cutting wire rope.

Wounded in the line of duty 😂. You have so many top quality tools. A lucky man.

Those Knipex cutters are really tempting for bicycle cables. I have an old pair of wire rope cutters made in Japan by HIT that are wonderful, but they don’t have the included crimpers so I need to grab my park cutters to crimp the cable ends on.

Man, that's crazy about the snare traps.

Felco were always the standard that others were judged by, ,, I had a pair in the Gripple box, they were great, ,, someone has nicked the lot though, ,, cutters and all my Gripples too.

When you said in the title that it was also for dogs I thought it was to use as a dog nail clippers!😂

[astrazenica]

no way, suntour made my favorite ever gear shifters. Basic thumb shifters. impossible to find nowadays

Specifically for bicycle wire rope there is another smaller Knipex cutter. I find it more elegant a tool, so to speak. The one in the video would be more appropriate for thicker gauge stuff as you showed.

Just bought a pair, great review as always!

used to cut bicycle cables & zip ties 👍❤️

I've used both the knipex (work bought these) and the Felco C7 (4 pairs over the last 20 years). The Felco C7 are far better for the 7x7 galvanised steel wire rope (2mm) that we use.

Got a cheap Chinese pair in thego bag and I've also bought the knipix pair I keep in my shop box

The modern bike specific cable cutters (e.g the Park Tool CN-10) are designed to cut the housing as well as the inner cable. The Knipex cutters look fine for the inner cable but the jaws look too parallel to cut the housing without crushing it. (I could be wrong, it's hard to tell without seeing/comparing them in the flesh)
