Those cutters in your link would eventually go through a cable but because of all the rubber/plastic in there you'd have to swing on them a bit. I've got similar and they work but take some squeezing. I always use a grinder because there's usually one at hand when I'm breaking a car.

Yep either a decent set of metal cutters or an angle grinder gets used here

Hi, the trouble is you're trying to cut a multi strand cable. It's not whether it will cut the whole cable but whether it can cut one single strand. It's the same with scissors most will cut card but it needs a well set pair to cut paper. I have a set of cheap old cutters that will do it, but another new pair won't. So it's just a case luck to a certain extent. When you come across a set try not to abuse them.
