Using 1/4" cable caps means I only lose that much cable if I cut them off...and I don't mess around with my cables enough to ever get to the point where I need to replace them because they got too short.

The cost of new cables would be worth it not to have--say it with me--fugly cable caps!

Renoir once said something along the line of, "there are enough ugly things in the world without me adding to them." Jagwire apparently never heard that before.
