Jagwire Housing Cutter
Best precision tool for mechanics maintaining clean, reliable bicycle cable housing.
This is the definitive tool for anyone tired of frayed cables and crushed housing. While it lacks the versatility of a multi-purpose shop shear, its dedicated design delivers perfectly clean cuts every single time. The integrated awl is a small, thoughtful touch that saves you from the frustration of pinched liners.
