Don't hesitate - if you need to adjust bicycle cables buy one, it's worth every penny
It's look and feels like a quality tool that will last many years of use. Also it look also identical to the Park Tool which cost more. Further, it's easy to use and unlike pliers, which you can use to do the same job, it doesn't kink or squash the cable and unlike pliers it makes adjusting brake and gear cables quick and straightforward and allows a finer adjustment, Read full review...

Should have bought it years ago.
If I'd bought this years ago like I should have, I'd have saved myself a lot of time and hassle.
I admit I thought it unnecessary and struggled with locking pliers and other implements of torture for longer than I care to remember. Now the job I always found to be painful, awkward and time consuming is a breeze.
If you don't already own one of these tools and you're considering buying one, you need to at least look at the Draper tool. There are so many out there that all look the same in the pictures but in the real world fall well short of the claims. In my opinion this is definitely no one of them and well worth the money.
I destroy poor quality tools at an alarming rate, but I feel confident this one will remain part of my tool kit for many years to come.Read full review...

Adjust front derailleurs
This is a life saver for bikes without barrel adjusters for front derailleurs (most road bikes nowadays)!
Simple to use mechanism for tightening and holding cable in place while setting the tension bolt.
I would not suggest using this for anything more heavy duty than a bike cable as the material is a little on the light side but works perfectly for my use caseRead full review...

Good Quality and easy to use.
I purchased this item to use on my Vespa Scooter. Its a real must when fitting any cables as its almost impossible to tighten or adjust gear cables etc on your own.
Saves a lot of frustration trying with out one ! For the Price its very good value / quality ratio.Read full review...

Helps you get cable tension right without a lot of faff.
This tool does what it's supposed to without any fuss. It's made of pressed rather than cast metal, but it's a good thickness and seems quite robust. It grips the cable firmly, I had no problems with it slipping.Read full review...

A decent tool to end the fiddle of fitting brake cables
This tool has made life much easier for me. It doesn't feel as good quality as some of the tools I have seen but it still does the job well.
Be aware though that it is a good idea to have a crimp tool, crimp ends and a cable cutter for these cables if you don't already have them.Read full review...

Good third hand
Not used it enough to give a comprehensive view but seems fine. Draper tools usually seem to be good value
