I need a pair of wire cutters to get a light weight wire bike lock (which came with a cycling magazine, so not an expensive one) off the bike as I have lost the key. The wire is not more than 5m.m. max. Will this do the job ?

Hello, these should do the job unless the wire has been hardened. I would suggest you choose the longer handle version as you can apply more pressure. thanks

Hi, Yes you can is the quick answer but to provide a little more information... I have used these to cut 1.5mm and 2.5mm swa in the past myself and they cut it pretty easily (I was using the 240mm version). The only thing to mention is the bigger and harder to cut the cable is im sure it would wear your cutters down that little bit faster.

hey, I would like to know what size I should buy, the biggest cable I will cut is 10mm twin and earth domestic cable.

Any of these will do your job, the bigger pair - 240mm will mean you don't have to press as hard to cut through cables. These are very sharp so even the smaller pair - 160mm will make light work of cutting cable.
