I ordered this - what is the best way to cut it? Do you need a wire cutter, etc.? Thanks

Yes. I tried cutting it with heavy scissors and that didn't work. With wire cutters, it was easy.

If you want to cut it, wire cutters will probably work best. But in fact for minor adjustments the innovative design of the handles and screws is great-- I was able to just loosen the screws and shorten up the cable and retighten the screws without having to cut the cable. Worked great, was really helpful for me to start achieving the first double unders! Great product design.

I dont think you should cut it in case you want to share it with others of different stature. But if you insist, a good wire cutter or a good scissor will do.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

We just cut it with a wire cutter and then put the tips back on. Follow the instructions it comes with and it will work great.

I trimmed mine with a pipe cutter. It was very easy to cut. Just hide the cut ends inside the wall mounting brackets.

I cut mine to fit around a shelf. That worked just fine. The birds and wire are all one piece, so if you want to cut the birds off I'm sure you could do it but u would have to be careful and u wouldn't be left with any wire.

I just use my sharp knife blade to cut off the wires after crimping. or my flush wire cutters. Works great

The wire cut be cut. If you need high security I would not use this. Otherwise it's great.

you will need a chain cutter to cut it. it is very thick but that's what makes it so good. would not recommend!

When you cut the ropelught in the designated spot you expose the inner wire which can accept a new plug that comes with the kit. It is very easy to do if you use a sharp pair of scissors, the rope also has marks on it telling you where you can cut it.

I would use a unit which has just a single long straight cutter coming out from the handle. Search for Hot Wire Foam Factory Crafters Hot Knife Kit here on Amazon. $35.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.

You pull the wire through. Used a "makeshift" cradle to hold a reel of wire which allowed the wire to pull thru. It cut and removed the sheathing in one pull. May have to work on getting the setup right but once it is...... happy stripping!

Yes, you don't need to cut anything. Cuz it's pre cuted. Its very small and u can find this in any Walmart too! Thanks.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

send I pic so I can see! I taped and cut mine like the direction said and had no issues. Have a new blade because you will be cutting into metal!!

I dont think you can cut it . The two end area welded(or glue togehter) from the factory

Cut the trace first with a knife and then solder the wire. Longer wire won't make things better. use about 5 inch of wire (start with longer and cut as you go).

I used a very sharp pocket knife , I also used a box cutter with a plain razor blade and they both worked well !! Hope this helps
