Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Efficient Cutting with Jagwire Pro Housing Cutter: Enhance Precision and Speed by Ben Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bike cable tool.

I recently replaced my bike handlebars and this meant I had to run new cables to accommodate different shifting and braking positions. I used to get by with diagonal wire cutters and an awl, but decided to get it for this repair and get myself a proper tool. It changed the world. It cuts cases and cables very cleanly. The built in awl is great and the crimping tool is passable. To be honest I saved a few minutes on the cable by having all the tools I needed (except for the hex tools, of course) in one hand. Build quality is solid and cheaper compared to ParkTool. The only issue I had was that the crimp is farther from the pivot point than I would like so it doesn't crimp as tight as the special tool. Overall, this is a very solid addition to my toolbox.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • High price
