Best pliers/tool for gear cable?

[Milzy]

Have you sorted the front mech cable adjuster yet @Milzy

Front mech is fine, I’ve got new cables coming and ordered some new pliers even though I could have brought a pair from work. All is working well but making sure I’m stocked up with spares as Spring is about to be sprung.

... it’s to create tension ... Good tension creates better snappier shifting.

I refer the Right Honourable Member to the answer i gave a few hours ago re: manuf's instructs.

Hand tight: I clamp the pliers on the cable and pull it tight with my hand.
You must have wonderfully capable fingers and hope your technique gives you pleasure.
