The main tool needed is a bicycle cable cutter. If this is too espensive you can get by with a regular wire cutter, but this will require more work cleaning up the cut with a file or Dremel. When cutting the housing for index shifter cable, first bend the length to the finished curve, so all the little wires remain straight when you cut. Put a spare bit of cable through the housing where you cut it to reduce the crushing.
