Role
Mechanical bicycle inner cable and housing cutting
Identify mechanical cable versus hydraulic hose
The material being cut determines the contact you need. Do not select from the general word cable alone.
What this choice changes
Cut mechanical cables and crimp their end caps
The CN-10 is for mechanical bicycle cable and housing, not the blade-cutting operation used on hydraulic hose. Its ground jaws and cold-forged, heat-treated steel handles address wire and housing work, including the compressionless shift housing named by Park Tool. Choose it by the cable system you are servicing before comparing it with hydraulic hose cutters.
The integrated cable-end-cap crimper adds a related finishing contact to the same plier. The selected description also identifies a forming hole for housing ends and ferrules. These features can reduce the number of separate hand tools in a mechanical-cable kit, but they do not mean end caps, ferrules or cable are supplied.
Compare a dedicated hose cutter such as Jagwire Pro or Elite when the job is preparing hydraulic hose. Their replaceable blade and hose cradle are different contacts from the CN-10’s wire-cutting jaws. A general reference to bicycle cables should not be used to infer hydraulic or steel-braided-hose approval.

Choose for your actual setup
Identify mechanical cable versus hydraulic hose
The material being cut determines the contact you need. Do not select from the general word cable alone.
Consider the finishing tools
The crimper and forming contact are useful when those parts of mechanical cable service belong in the same kit.
Fit checks & limits
- No primary approval for hydraulic-hose or steel-braided-hose cutting.
- Overall-length fields differ; no single reconciled length is asserted.
Questions before you choose
Can I use it instead of a hydraulic hose cutter?
That use is not established. CN-10 is specified for mechanical inner cable and housing; a hose cutter uses a different blade contact.
Does it include cable end caps?
No end caps or ferrules are itemized as supplied. The integrated feature is the tool that crimps compatible caps.
Is compressionless shift housing covered?
Park Tool includes that housing type in the stated scope. Match the actual cable/housing job and follow its service requirements.
