will it cut through bike brake cables?

Good question...I have no idea. BUT, I was using it to cut thru carbon fiber sheets and it lasted for a long long time. It's the wood that seems to have destroyed it.

Yes, it is recommended to cut with a bicycle cable cuttter, but if you have a hacksaw and are careful you can cut with the cable housing and then file the end smooth.

Yes, but the cable is very long. I had to wrap it around the frame a couple of times, and that weakened the braking power. You may be better served by spending a bit more on a better brake.

Yes it does cut steel brake line very well and copper would be even easier but I don't believe copper is legal for use in hydraulic brake lines on vehicles in North America.

This brake was not designed to handle anything that thick. It would probably do it if you adjusted the cams. However there are other tools that are not very expensive and are designed to do just what you want to do.

The cable is pretty light-weight, so I would think you would want something more substantial for a scooter. If someone were going to steal your scooter, I would think they could easily cut this. I use it to lock my bike when I pop in to the store or bank...not for a long time. Just my opinion.

It has a cutter but doesn't work good. Use something else to strip your wires.

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

I actually cut an end off and used just the cable and not the housing for my front brake. The housing can be cut if you remove the cable first.

It should, if able to clip it to some metal object. Cable not that long though,

Yes! You will have to put the chain, wheels and petals and break leaver and break cable and breaks on. Pretty simple if you've put a bike together before and all the basic tools you need come with the bike.

with the right cutter, yes it can be cut. As most locks and cable can be cut with the right equipment.

Yes, exactly. I don't remember if it says in the description, but it uses mountain bike style cables.

If it were working properly, it should work fine for bike tires - provided you have a car or other 12 volt DC source to plug it into. Mine also had a defective fitting (part that connects to the tire stem-valve), so it's usable but not great. If you buy it, be prepared to try it right away and to return it if it doesn't work well.

Yes, when I first got the tool I wasn't sure it would. But I does. I mainly use for my Cat5 and Cat6s network cutting. I bought a seperat tool for cutting coaxial cords.

As far as the fitment of the cables to the lever and the action of then pulling the cable, yes it will work. However, the length of the lever movement untill the pads engage the friction surface will be very different. These top levers will need less pull than the origional levers to engage the brake. So this means that both will feel different.

Surely can. I cut mine for the back brake. The two ends are the same so either one can attach to the brake handle.
