Strengths:    Sturdy

Weaknesses:    Price

Bottom Line:   
Expected more for the price and with Park's reputation. This tool cuts no better than a sharp pair of diagonal cutters, housing still requires filling to achieve a square end. Tool is of very sturdy construction and should continue to "function" for years.

Strengths:    Cable Crimper.

Weaknesses:    Cable/Housing Cutter

Bottom Line:   
First Park tool to let me down. After a year of light home use the cutter started fraying everything. After about 10 frayed cables I gave up and bought a cheap Spin Doctor Cutter. I thought about keeping the cables and sending them back to Park but decided not to since their other stuff is top notch. Just picked up some Pedro's and am expecting a better experience.

Strengths:    Good solid feel.
Cuts clean/fast
Doesn't crush Shimano SP41 derailler cable


Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
I read many mixed reviews of the Park cutting tool and had some concern - since I will mostly be cutting Shimano SP41 derailler cable housing. All I can say is that those reviews must have been written based on the previous version of the Park Cable Cutter.

This is a great tool and I am very happy I have it!

Strengths:    Built very well with solid feel

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
I'll start this review for the CN-10. Note the CN-10 is Park's top-of-the-line cutter, it does not look like the one in the picture. Anyway, the tool is very solid and handles very well. It cuts housing very well too. I tried in on the Aztec teflon housing and it performs wonderfully/ Aztec recommends using the Dremel tool to cut the housing, but I found it easier to use the Park tool instead. Before cutting the housing, I insert a piece of wire cable within the housing first to prevent the housing from collapsing under force, apply the cut, and discard the inside cable.
