Fresh Goods Sunday - Park Tool CN-10 Pro Cable cutter

I was not after another pair of cable cutters but these come up as a rather good deal on PBK website so decided to buy them. My current ones are Wrench Force ones (no longer made) manufactured by Snap on so as you would expect are very good quality. They have never failed and only have to nip the bolt up a couple of times on the jaw. The spring action has a nice feel and ok in the hand.
The Park Tool CN-10 model are heavier, chunky and look stronger. The spring action is not as good and have to force them apart slightly to get brake outer casing through the jaws. The cut is clean and the grips are very comfortable in your hand.
The rrp is £29.99 but I got them for less than £18 inc p&p.
I have retired the old ones off to my spare tool kit and these are in my main tool chest now.
Here is the manufacturers blurb -
