Good call! I always have reading glasses on anyway so I'm good there.

[RBW] Re: Tool for fender stays

[tuolumne bikes]

I've been able to cut them with bolt cutters without having to mark the 
stays and remove the fenders. For SKS, they get covered with the rubber 
tips, so I don't file them. But if you use bolt cutters, please wear 
glasses. I've had the cut ends shoot clear across the room.

I use different tools for different kinds of stays:

   - For the Honjo/Berthoud "wraparound" kind, I use a small pipe cutter 
   
.
 
   Pipe cutters slice through the aluminum stays easily and leave nice ends 
   that seldom require additional finishing.
   - For the Planet Bike/SKS "stick up" kind, I break out my angle grinder 
   and eyes & ears, to make quick work of the stainless steel stays. Trim and 
   finish with just one tool.

Thanks, just what I need and the same brand as my wife's favourite 
secateurs!

I use a hacksaw to cut and a bench grinder to smooth.
