Braided hoses??
What is a good way to cut braided hose?
The company I can get it from will not cut it and only sells it in pre-cut lengths....

Use a hacksaw with a FINE tooth blade. Wrap tape around where you want to cut, it will keep the braid from unraveling while you are cutting.

I like using a jigsaw with fine metal blade. Much easier on the wrist ! and the smell of burnt rugger, well you get used to it. But the idea is the same.
Oh yea, measure twice - cut ounce !
