I love my Park cable and housing cutter. Limped along with unsuitable substitutes for 20 years rather stupidly. Nothing beats the right tool for a job. In fact , my son always asks what I wanted for Christmas and last year I showed him the Park cable/housing cutter. Sure beat gourmet pears or cookies. Also have a Park tool to hold chainring nuts, a truing stand, a couple of headset wrenches, a crank arm puller and a crank nut wrench. They have held up well for years of service. If I can, I only buy tools once, even though they cost more at the git-go.
