Knipex Wire Rope Cutter 9562190: Upgrading a 45 year old Sun Tour bike cable cutters. And for dogs!

- amzn.to/38QueCG The Knipex Wire Rope Cutter, part number 9562190T for the comfort grips and tether port: is an amazing cutting tool. Slices through steel wire rope like butter, but sometimes frozen butter, but butter just the same. I'm upgrading my 45 year old Suntour bike cable cutters. And this has serious applications for removing pet dogs from trapper's snares.
Note: I've watched this video several times and cannot tell when I cut my finger. Any guesses?

Timely advice. Just got a pair of blue heeler puppies. Been using the knipex cutters for a few weeks. Hope i wont have to use them like that but i'll definitely keep them with in reach if i suspect traps. Thank you
I use these at work to cut 3/16 steel helicopter rescue hoist cable at work. IT takes quite a bit of arm strength, but the small size lets me get into the corners of a hoist drum if needed to extract a tangled wire.
What’s the best cutters for mc cable?
I’ve been tempted to get those, I keep hoping I’ll catch them on tool of the day 😅
the knipex tools are so nice ive been buying a bunch lately. and dont think ill buy another normal handle again the comfort handle is so much nicer on the hands. thanks for the video!
Oh how I have struggled over the years cutting bowden cable for motorcycle controls, these are brilliant
Felco makes a great C7 cutter that is for cables. I've been using them for 20 plus and they are the best cutters in regards to steel cables and solid strand wires.
hi there, I would like to ask about cobolts, wouldn't it do the same job and could cut bolts whereas the ones you show in this video couldn't? Why just not to only have cobolts?
Cobolts have straight jaws that smear out the cable strands when cutting causing an uneven end. BTW, Snap On has their own Cobolt knockoff now it’s actually quite nice n
When you said in the title that it was also for dogs I thought it was to use as a dog nail clippers!😂
Thanks for the thorough review and adding the tip on googling where traps are located. I carry a cable cutter in my upland hunting vest but it's not as nice as this one. I'll be replacing it with these because of how fast these work. Thanks again and I might steal your idea and do a video in the future about snare traps and how to locate them.
I've been using the Felco C7 for years. They are Swiss made and excellent for cutting wire rope.
no way, suntour made my favorite ever gear shifters. Basic thumb shifters. impossible to find nowadays
Got a cheap Chinese pair in thego bag and I've also bought the knipix pair I keep in my shop box
That’s a beautiful tool. Love my Pedro’s bike wire snips
i hv both,, park tool hz a slight advantage
Man, that's crazy about the snare traps.
Specifically for bicycle wire rope there is another smaller Knipex cutter. I find it more elegant a tool, so to speak. The one in the video would be more appropriate for thicker gauge stuff as you showed.
Felco were always the standard that others were judged by ,,, I had a pair in the Gripple box , they were great ,,, someone has nicked the lot though ,,, cutters and all my Gripples too.
could use some testing instead of just showcase......
How well do these cutters perform on s.i.s. cable housing ?
Do they open up enough to cut off fingers? I’m asking for a friend
No. Tell your friend to use the ratcheting cable cutters. They give you more theatre time.
Those Knipex cutters are really tempting for bicycle cables. I have an old pair of wire rope cutters made in Japan by HIT that are wonderful, but they don’t have the included crimpers so I need to grab my park cutters to crimp the cable ends on.
Is it possible to cut a bicycle spoke with these cutting pliers?
A dedicated shop calculator is also nice... 1" = 25.4mm exactly (or 2.54cm). Google is also great for unit conversions.
I've used both the knipex (work bought these) and the Felco C7 (4 pairs over the last 20 years). The Felco C7 are far better for the 7x7 galvanised steel wire rope (2mm) that we use.
Wounded in the line of duty 😂. You have so many top quality tools. A lucky man.
The modern bike specific cable cutters (e.g the Park Tool CN-10) are designed to cut the housing as well as the inner cable. The Knipex cutters look fine for the inner cable but the jaws look too parallel to cut the housing without crushing it. (I could be wrong, it's hard to tell without seeing/comparing them in the flesh)
I have those knipex cutters and they are perfect for gear outer cables.
For outer brake cables, I use a pair of Park Tool SP-7 side cutters.
The knipex cutter would probably cut brake outers with no problem but I've always used side cuttera for that task.
@@AG17_1 I'll take your word for it regards the knipex cutting gear cable housing cleanly. You're right about brake cable housing of course, it's been a few years since I worked on cable brakes, the steel strands run along the cable instead of coiling around it, so it's fine to cut with side-cutters.
@@sandy_knight some of the more flexible Shimano gear cables (frame exit point to rear derailleur) are coiled and some cable disc brakes outers (Jaqwire and TRP) are straight instead of coiled to reduce compression under braking. When you know its obvious but worth checking if the cable is not branded or marked.

Let the blood letting begin!
I’ve been on the fence about your content lately. Just watched the episode where you planted the seeds for Snap-on Tools demise. Made decision to unsubscribe easy. 👋 Bye.
I know Knipex makes these wire rope cutters in shear cut & center cut versions. Do you recommend shear cut over the center cut mainly for the cleanliness of the cut? Would center cut be more durable against harder materials?
I have a park tool wire rope cutter. I got when I first got in to bike repair. And everyone acted like park took was. I wish I would have gotten the knipex Instead. I have othe knipex pliers and cuters. What do you think of park tool? I know you’ve heard of them haha.
There's only one pair of Knipex flyers that I don't really care for That is the soft gripping pipe plies they have those soft grips don't grip anything and everything slips around and does not come loose unless you remove those soft grip things then it's okay! However the 40 or so other pairs of their plies I have are incredible
Doc! What region of MT you in? I travel all over the state as I work on access control and smart safes, it would be so damn cool to cross paths with you. Much like you, I am a gear nerd, if there is a tool to make any work I do easier I want it!
bit shame that you sir did not show if it cuts thru the wire housing/shield just as nice. sorry cant find a word for it =)
Just bought a pair, great review as always!
used to cut bicycle cables & zip ties 👍❤️
nice cutters and how they cut but you have a cut too..
What model are those calipers? They look 😍
Nice to know would be, if it also cuts bowden wire housings. And if it can do it, if the housing is not (to heavy) squeezed where it was cut. This ensures, that the bowden wire can run free and easy through the housing. And I would not need 2 different cutters. The Knipex web site does not mention if also housings can be cut.
I use my Knipex for both wire rope and housing. They cut nicer than my Park Tool cutters and the Knipex crimp better. That said- I've screwed up a few cable housings with with both. Sometimes I'm just not paying attention
Hello again Doc
Thank you for another Great Video. These traps are placed in public areas? I don't think, I understand the purpose for them to be there? Again thank you
They are for trapping game animals. But there are very restrictive laws about where they can be. Not near public trails, have to post signs warning that they are in the area, etc. ive lived in montana for more than 30 years and never run across a trap.
These cable cutters are fantastic.
Good information
Thanks
Can you details on the micrometer...model # , etc.
Thanks
