Cable cutters

    A quick look at cable cutters on Wiggle/Ribble etc just made me splutter tea all over my keyboard.

    Any idea why so expensive? And do I really need cycle-specific cutters when replacing brake/gear cables when I could probably go to B&Q and save myself £15-20!?

    Can anyone recommend a good set for a sensible price?

    Cheers,
