Sorry if this was covered, but didn't read every page. Cable cutters pictured look like they are for copper or aluminum electrical cable. Steel will make them forever useless. Don't bolt cutters work on stranded cable?
Very 1st post covers this... The cutters in the picture could not cut the cable. Needed much larger cutters specific for cables. That is what I used to cut the cables to length/etc. Bolt cutter could probably also do it.
Large cutters could also be used by a thief if they are trying to steal my now-protected CC. But instead of just 2 quick cordless sawsall cuts (which they are used to), they will spend a lot more time underneath with their sawsall and cable cutters (which they are unlikely to have) trying to cut the 6-7 places where the cable is connected to the frame of the RV (some up high in very hard to reach places). And if that wasn't good enough, there's also a motion sensor alarm that will be triggered blasting at 110dB the whole time.
Overall, a relatively inexpensive mod to reduce the chance that my CC will get stolen again (covered by insurance, but causing huge inconvenience and weeks/months out of commission). Can't stop a dedicated thief, but I like my chances.
Stay safe!
