Reddit mentions of 190mm Draper Wire Rope And Wire Cutters

I hate to say this, but you've learnt a lesson today.

Cable locks are worthless. They are cut through like butter. You have essentially locked your bike up with string.

This will cut through both those bits of string. You spent £600+ on your bike, yet a couple of quid on a lock. Silly billy. What did you expect?

When your bike is replaced, get a good u-lock. What you used to "secure" your bike, I use on my front wheel . . . and I fully expect that one day I'll come back and find my wheel missing.

thanks for the advice! i do very general sfx [bit of prosthetics, props,fabrication like the suit] work (or im just starting to do it for myself rather than working for others) so as im sure you know pretty much every process/tool under the sun gets used in one way or another.

love the look of the knipex cutters, i have these and while they are great for the price, the small opening is a pain in the butt for doing many cuts.

never thought of using coat hanger wire! but makes sense, cheap and easily available and not too hard like piano wire. will be sure to give some a try

thanks for the response!
