The around $15 hose cutter available in any autoparts store. Kinda looks like a giant pair of kids scissors, with one blade that goes into a plastic body. The one my local store sold cut bigger hose then the one at thetoolwarehouse.net sells.

Craftsman Handi-cut is one of the best tools I have found for cutting hose. The razor sharp replaceable blades will cut through just about anything. I've even cut battery cable and small diameter soft copper tube.

That thing will take your fingers off. For hose and tube like that, It gives a super clean edge and cuts like its nothing

ditto! I use my anvil pruners also, they work great for making nice straight cuts.

+1. I have the Accu-cut, but it's basically the same thing. That thing is so cool, but it can be dangerous. It only bit me once so far... :lol:

+1 for either the handicut or the accucut, they are both awesome tools, I have both and can never seem to find both at the same time but they are an absolute must for junkyarding, or parting a car out
