That moment when you open evilbay just for a quick glance before the F1 starts and you find a model kit you've been after for years going for a price well under the 'normal' asking prices. Well it's just happened. I had clicked the buy-it-now icon before i even knew what i was doing. Slightly chuffed here.

Found this in wilco, tow cables maybe.
£1.50 and can hold a bend.

Good value, but you might have a bit of a job cutting through it!

Got an abundance of tools at work :thumb2: a hacksaw will do if you got a little vice to hold it.

I was thinking of all those occasions I’ve tried to use wire cutters and ended up with a Frankenstein frayed end!

Sidecutters - good quality ones will do the job, no problems, used to make all my own motorcycle cables when riding my custom bikes

Dremel mini-disc cutter - never fails, never frays - patience is a virtue though!

You beat me to it. This is the best way I found to cut steel wire cable, everything else frayed the ends. (I gave up on using steel cable for tow cables on models, though.)

It's a snap with a pair of cable cutters and no frayed ends.....available from Micro Tool. Also good for cutting piano wire and other hard or too thick items for regular side cutters. Rick H.
