The Var Tools Cable Cutter is a workshop-grade tool designed to deliver clean, precise cuts on brake and shift cables, as well as cable housing, for professional mechanics and dedicated home enthusiasts alike. Built specifically for bicycle maintenance, it helps prevent frayed cable ends and crushed housing, ensuring smoother shifting and more consistent braking performance. Its sharp, hardened cutting jaws are shaped to slice cleanly through steel cables and housing with minimal effort, reducing hand fatigue and making repeated cuts during a full bike build or overhaul much easier.
Thoughtfully designed handles provide a secure, comfortable grip, giving you better control and accuracy when working in tight spaces around frames, handlebars, and derailleurs. A quality cable cutter like this is an essential addition to any serious bike workshop, helping you achieve a clean, professional finish every time you replace cables or reroute housing. By using a purpose-built cutter instead of general-purpose pliers, you protect your components, extend cable life, and maintain the crisp, reliable feel that every rider expects from their drivetrain and braking system.
