Can does anyone know where I can get a cheap hose cutter?
I don't really want to spend £40 on something I'm not going to use much!
Cheers, Chris
Stanley knife with a nice new blade, a flat surface and a bit of elbow grease. Use a coctail stick afterwards to make the bore round again
wrap where you'll cut tightly with masking tape - it helps prevent fraying.
I used to use a hacksaw with a new blade on car braided hoses.
halfords <do I spit now?> cable cutter for 22 quid is great
i used it on braided hose for my M4s and it cut fine
plus if you buy it online, you get 20% off
and if you buy it with some GT85, the price actually drops by 50p
Whatever you use to cut gear outers will cut braided hoses.
Or an angle grinder.
Piedi Stanley knife on braided hose. Are you having a Giraffe. Would like to come and watch you try 😆
Superstar Components do one Ive used..
The best way (other than a proper hose saw) is to wrap it with masking tape then cut it with an angle grinder with the thinnest cutting disc you can find.
Even new hacksaw blades leave a ragged edge and cable cutters will crush the ptfe inner which isn't the end of the world but means you have to mess about squashing it back into shape!
You can borrow mine if you like.
