It never made clean cuts, so I demoted it to cutting #9 support wires and short pieces of small rod to build stakalizer type conibear supports. The 8" bolt cutters Harbor Freight sells actually cut cable very well, but not practical on the snare line. They would work for cutting cable to length though, they make clean cuts.

Sorry to hear that. My particular one cuts it clean. Last edited by Tailhunter; 09/23/21 08:49 AM.

They cut cable about like a hot knife through butter - very quick clean and very easy ! Not the cheapest but have been well worth the money to me.

And for the money I would go with HT brand. Felcos and HT brand get dull at about the same amount of cuts. All cable cutters get dull but still cut, just not as slick as when they are new. lifetime member NTA, OSTA, GTA
