Draper Expert 190mm Wire Rope Cutter 5mm Max | 1.5mm Max Cutting Spring Wire Capacity | SK5 High Carbon Steel Blades | Vinyl Grips | Safety Lock | 57768

Purchased these Drapers for cutting cycle gear shifter cables at a third the cost of the similar ParkTool CN-10. These Drapers are rated to cut up to 5mm of steel rope. They cut through 1.2mm stainless steel rope inner wire and the 4mm SP41 steel rope outer casing, smooth and clean like a hot knife through butter. The cut was accurate and instant with zero crushing, deformation or unravelling of either cable. Usage was easy leaving a clean end for the ferrules and end caps to push on, and the inner cable to slide through. After 5-10 snips, the cutting edge showed zero marks / damage. The only thing these cutters don’t have that the Park Tool does is the crimpers, but any pliers will crimp soft aluminium end caps. All in all, these are great cable cutters and well worth the money.

Excellent. Very sharp just what I needed

Good for the money lasts a long time got them 11 months ago still going good

Bought this at same time as a different and larger pair of cutters from a shop and these cut much better and I have already stopped using the larger other brand ones as they started fraying cables when trying to cut gear and brake cables but these do it clean and quick. Definitely worth buying, there is a very small latch on one side of the cutters you need to unlatch to use them.....took me a while before I realised as its hard to notice if you don't know theres one there. Once I realised it was there I was surprised I didn't see it sooner. Feels well made and does its job very well, cuts bicycle brake and gear cables very well.

Used many times extremely sharp with clean cut.

I've tried side cutters, mini bolt cutters and now these to cut bike cables and cable outers. These are the best by far... I had expected bolt cutters to be superior but they took multiple efforts to cut. These draper cutters can do it rather easily and leave a clean cut every time. I'd be surprised if anyone could tell the difference between these and the Park Tool version. They feel robust so I have no issues about build quality or longevity. If you want to cut anything on your bike get these!!

Good price and very good at cutting stainless steel strand wire

These cutters are solid. The grip feels comfortable in the hand, and there’s enough leverage to slice through thick rope or wire without straining yourself. I’ve used them for garden projects, DIY jobs, and even to trim down some heavy-duty fencing wire. Every cut is clean, no fraying or crushed ends. They feel like proper, professional-grade tools — definitely not the sort you’ll need to replace any time soon.

Tras cortar unos 8 cables y fundas, debo decir que estoy muy satisfecho con esta herramienta. - Características: (ya le vale al vendedor no poner esta infomación) tenaza de 19mm de longitud, apta para cortar cable de acero trenzado de hasta 5mm y alambre de muelle hasta 1.5mm según el fabricante. - Materiales y acabados: herramienta de trabajo pura y dura. Pesada sin llegar a ser incómoda. Sólida, cero holguras, buen acabado. El recubrimiento de la empuñadura es de vinilo, tendiendo a duro, muy cómodo y agradable, no gomoso ni pegajoso, por lo que la grasa no se le queda pegada. - Funcionamiento: tras cortar 8 cables de freno, cambio y fundas, da gusto usarla. Ha cortado el último igual que el primero, sin marca ni señal alguna de desgaste en el filo. En los cables de freno y cambio, apenas hay que hacer esfuerzo y realiza cortes muy limpios y sin aplastamiento. En el caso de las fundas, los cortes son igual de buenos, pero hay que hacer algo más de fuerza, nada destacable. El muelle me parece muy bueno, ofrece una resistencia leve y tiene un retorno suave y controlado. El único pero que se le podría poner es que quien tenga manos pequeñas le costará usarla con una sola mano debido a que, por su forma de pico de loro, la tenaza ha de abrirse mucho para poder meter el cable por lo que las empuñaduras quedan bastante separadas.

tutto ok

Very efficient for 3mm wire rope 👌 game Changer compared to my old one ! 🤣

Ziet er netjes en degelijk uit.
