Jagwire Pro 2.0 Housing Cutter

Yes, the Jagwire Pro 2.0 is designed to handle both standard derailleur housing and coiled brake housing cleanly without crushing the internal structure.

This specific tool is optimized for housing. While it may cut through cables, using it on steel inner wires can dull the precision blades prematurely; it is best to use a dedicated cable cutter for wires.

The tool features an ergonomic design that provides good leverage, making it comfortable to operate even if you are cutting through thicker, reinforced housing.

You will notice the blades need attention when the housing ends start to fray or deform during a cut rather than coming away clean. For most home mechanics, the high-quality steel construction ensures this tool lasts for years before needing replacement.

No, this cutter is intended for standard cable housing. Hydraulic hoses require a specific type of cutter to prevent fluid leaks and ensure a proper seal.
