I've got a set of cable cutters that look like those felpros I bought years ago. I suspect they are felpros but not positive. They cut like a dream. I've used them to cut winch cables and quite a bit of 1/2" and 9/16" haywire as well as a lot of 3/32" and 1/8" trapping cable. The jaws aren't big enough to get more than one or possibly two of the strands of big cable in at a time, but they will just snip it away one strand at a time slick as a whistle.

Any one use them In frozen ground? Would the J hook make It harder to drive?

HIT Brand Wire Rope Cutters are about 1/2 the price of Felco Cutters and work just a well IMO. But don't just take my word for it. HIT is the brand that Newt Sterling uses and he cuts plenty of cable. I got my HIT Cutters from Newt. I have a pair at the bench and another pair in the beaver snare bag.

Beav,
Ive used the pogos in hard soils and the jhook doesnt cause any problems......but...

....I started out using #6 jhooks and noticed where the heads were stressing the washer and appeared to be close to pulling thru the hole on some of the cable stakes. I noticed this by chance when I pulled a couple up just to inspect em. I intend these as one time use and cut cable when pulling. Repeated use will cause problems.

I then went to 20 penny nails (same issue), then 30 penny nails (much larger head) and problem solved.

ST,
Just checked pricing on all components for 2" pogos with 30 penny nails. Will cost closer to $1 each now, including aluminum ferrules and cable.

You are better off with the Wolf Fangs....about 75 cent each with cost of cable and ferrules added in.

Looks like I will be Wolf Fanging it very soon.

Swamp. I can get Wolf Fangs for 35 dollars a 100. And Cable and ferrules for ME are free. LOL!!

The Original 'wolf fang' is the HIGH DESERT SPEAR sold by O'Gorman Enterprises
Let's call an Ace an Ace !

I wish you could still find those. OR better yet get some one to make me 50000 of them

Has O'Gorman stopped selling them ?

I cut off 3" of black pipe and weld a nut on top. It makes a cheap good earth anchor.

Why not just put your furrels on an anvil and hit them with a hammer?

Fnt are the only fangs i will buy now but I did fall into the wcs trap once. I had to drive back home and open up my driver a hair so I could start setting it was irritating to say the least lesson learned.

Yes. Not in last 2 catalogs Was told by Ogorman’s student. = a guy wanted to buy rights on = High Dessert Spear. But I never heard back from that guy. SO I guess no more High Dessert Spear ???

steeltraps,

I borrowed a crimper from work and it only takes one crimp on 3/32. I will look at the brand when I get home and snap a picture.

Ok. Thanks.

My Dad bought my pair of Felco Cutters for me on my birthday when I turned 15. I'm 40 and they are still going strong too. I use them every year on the line and they have put up with a lot of abuse. You definitely get what you pay for!

Will the Felco Cutters cut 1/8” cable? If so I’m getting a pair or two. Anything has to be better than my 9” pliers, lol.

Yes, the Felco cutters easily cut 1/8” cable.
Please order me a new pair too. Lost mine, using the lousy backup.

Steel traps, sorry it took so long but been trying to figure out how to load pictures.

Here’s some more pics.
