Overview

Why Choose the CN-10 Professional Cable Cutter?

The Park Tool CN-10 is a professional-grade cable cutter built to cut brake and derailleur cables and housing cleanly in a single squeeze. Its compound action handles multiply your grip force to shear through cable and housing without fraying, crushing, or deforming the cut end, which matters when you're routing precision shifting cables or setting up hydraulic hose runs. The hardened steel blades stay sharp through thousands of cuts, making this the tool that earns a permanent spot on the workbench.

A clean cable cut is the starting point for a quality cable installation. The CN-10 eliminates the messy cuts that come from wire snips or worn-out cutters, so you spend less time chasing frayed ends and more time actually completing the build. From road race bikes to full-suspension mountain rigs, the CN-10 handles any cable or housing type without hesitation.
