In her words 'they are the best..."</p> <p>Nuff said... Felco it is.<br /> Thx everybody for your input. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-952 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:20:39 +0000 JonC 952@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Dom---</p> <p>Felco C-7. I've had them for almost 18 years, hundreds of bike builds...always a great cut. Two words:</p> <p>Swiss made.</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-948 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 12:08:31 +0000 1hermit 948@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>You won't go wrong with either the Shimano or the Felco. Both cut very well, and you would probably have to abuse both before you dull the blades. I've never used the Park; it's probably not bad either. The Felco cutters are heavier than the Shimano cutters, and heft is a characteristic I like in tools. They also fit and feel better in my hand, too. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-939 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:05:11 +0000 egordon 939@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I use both at work.. Plus on the Park alsways a clean cut for sure, I like the crimp end better than Shimano. Minus its heavy and kinda bulky..</p> <p>Shimano is also a nice clean cut and alot lighter.. The cable crimp I dont like as much as park.. You cant go wrong with either..</p> <p>Shimano would be the choice if you use a shop apron and keep your tools in the pouches.. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-938 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 17:19:20 +0000 Domestique 938@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>so far we have 3 different opinions on which is best, can you tell us why you think your choice is better? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-936 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:38:25 +0000 1hermit 936@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The best . . . Felco C-7. Prices vary on the Web. You may find a used one on E-bay for a good price. They last forever. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-933 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 01:20:15 +0000 Full Mootion 933@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The Shimano cable cutters are by far the best! Have a whole bench full of Park but always Shimano on the cable cutter reference. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-932 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 00:10:50 +0000 woody 932@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The right tool for the right job:<br /> <a href="http://www.parktool.com/product/p/professional-cable-and-housing-cutter" rel="nofollow">http://www.parktool.com/product/p/professional-cable-and-housing-cutter</a></p> <p>Woody </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=157#post-931 Sat, 29 Jan 2011 23:00:50 +0000 Domestique 931@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>What's best?<br /> Thx,</p> <p>D. </p>
