The pecking-order, and cost, of cable cutters is pretty much as said above: Felco in first place, Shimano second, Park third and then almost nothing worth having.

I have a pair of Park's older CN-4 cable cutters I've used for well over 20 years and they do an adequate job. But, I work only on my own and a few friend and relatives bikes so they are not in anything like daily use. They work well for cutting inner cable wires and for index shift housing. For spiral wound brake housing I use a pair of side cutters and am careful to get the blades between adjacent coils of the wire. Then I smooth the resulting burr with a flat file. A large needle or small nail can be used to round out and straighten the liner after cutting any housing type.
