I too use the Park, more or less satisfactorily. My favorites were Sears end-cut cutters, but they got dull, and I can't find anyone who knows how to sharpen them so that they bite uniformly across the blade. Couldn't find new ones like them either in the stores so I went with the Park. Guess what? I just googled them and here they are: http://www.sears.com/search=end%20cu...tting%20pliers

I find that when new and sharp, these do the absolutely best job of cutting inner and outer cable. I think I am going to switch back to the Sears. Anyone in the market for a slightly used set of Parks? I keed!
