FAQs

What is the warranty on the PARK TOOL CN-10?

The CN-10 comes with Park Tool's legendary limited lifetime warranty.

Can I cut hydraulic brake lines with this tool?

No, this tool is designed for bicycle cables and housing only; it is not suitable for hydraulic brake lines.

Can I cut through thicker housing?

Yes, but you may need to apply more force. Ensure the housing is fully inserted into the cutting jaws.

How do I sharpen the cutting blades?

The cutting blades are hardened and designed to maintain their sharpness for a long time. If they become dull, you can try to sharpen them with a sharpening stone or contact Park Tool for service.

How should I store the CN-10 cutter?

Store the cutter in a dry place. Use the wire latch to keep the handles closed when not in use.

Is it suitable for cutting electrical wires?

No, it is designed specifically for bicycle cables and housing. Using it for other materials may damage the tool or affect cutting performance.

Troubleshooting

Cable frays after cutting.

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the cutting jaws and squeeze the handles firmly. If the problem persists, the cutting jaws may need sharpening.

Housing end is crushed after cutting.

Use the forming hole to reshape the housing end.

Crimper doesn't fully secure the end cap.

Ensure the cable end is properly inserted into the end cap before crimping. If the end cap is still loose, try crimping it again with more force.
