Just like any other bicycle mechanic i certainly have a sweet spot for fine tools. And me........i've always lusted after Felco's line of bicycle tools but never really had the extra dough to splurge (or maybe i've always been too cheap). I mean...tools are tools and they cost lots of money to keep up with the normal wear and tear around here. Personally i've always thought that the Shimano cable cutters were about as good as they came and certainly a fine tool. Well....i finally caved in after a week worth of listening to Aaron complain about the cutters hanging from his side of the shop. And just like any good employeer would do, i handed down my faithful Shimano cutters to him and purchased a new set for myself : )
And let me say....i've only had these for ONE day but the difference in cutting quality on both stainless cables and housing is ssooooooo noticeable. It was butter smooth and certainly WORTH the extra coin. So if you're after a new set of cutters look no further than the swiss made Felco's IF you can swallow the cost.
