Claims to be strong enough to slice open McPherson strut housings.



Like anything with a cutting blade, when the blade goes dull, they don't cut well. The one you have pictured should cut wonderfully...if the blades are sharp. But I don't see a way to replace dull blades without replacing the entire chain. Works on the same principle as a single-cutting-wheel tubing cutter for fuel and brake tubing...which is also most-commonly steel.
This looks much nicer. Only gripe with the chain cutter is having to hold constant pressure. Its a nice forearm workout
