Yeah. I appreciate the distinction. I'm new to the folding world. On a folding bike there can be lots of long cable housing runs with tight corners. I can see that the clean cut might be more of an issue.
I put together a tool kit for each bike, and it lives in the bike's seat bag. I just bought a Bike Friday in December, and I'm putting together its tool kit now. I may have to rethink the mini lineman's pliers for that bike. I have a pair of smallish cable cutters that I use at home. They came as part of my wife's "dowry" and work very well. If I can find a pair like that I will probably put that on the BF.
