You should NEVER a wire rope as a beginner! 1. Too Fast: Wire ropes are ultra-fast and meant for speed training (like double-unders in CrossFit). As a beginner, you need a slower rope to learn rhythm, timing, and form. 2. No Feedback: Wire ropes are usually thin and light, giving almost no tactile feedback. That makes it hard to tell where the rope is, which slows down your progress. 3. Bad for Learning Skills: You won’t be able to learn tricks or footwork properly with a wire rope — it’ll keep

High-strength wire ropes are best cut with the KNIPEX 95 62 160 wire rope shears: As @toolselectrical shows here, it cuts through even enormously hard, braided ropes like butter. The secret of its strength is its unique joint design, which massively amplifies your hand force. In other words: up to 30% less effort compared to wire rope cutters of the same length! It cuts wire ropes up to Ø 4 mm and cables up to Ø 6 mm easier than you would expect. Thanks for the video, Ryan! #knipex #tools #plier
