Cutting thick cable

[m4tty]

Hi,

What do you use to cut thick cable like 25mm meter tails.

Simple question but wondered if there were any tricks to make it easier or any decent tools you use to cut them.

Thanks

upto 25mm tails I just use my Knipex 200mm pliers,

or if they are handy my offset ones that will do 35mm easily, after that cable shears.

No, but I imagine they would do the job on something small like a guinea pig
