have to agree with the park tool cable cutter not really working all that great.

For those of you using a dremel to cut the housings, what attachment are you using to do so?

I agree with the Park tool being lousy. Just ordered the Jagwire Incisor based on information here. Hoping it is a lot better!

I've been using the Shimano version for years now. Expensive but good.

yep, I agree the park is lousy too, I did not find it worth the price. It does the job but not that cleanly.

The Felco is awesome and will last a home mechanic a lifetime.

That said, I have a store branded version of the Tacx you show. I think I've had it for about 8 years, and it is just now getting to be a bit wonky. I like that it has a built in housing spreader/awl. It stays in my travel box now, where it sees minimal use.
