The pair I received are not like the picture, but that doesn't really matter as long as they are good quality and work.
Mine have a large opening for cutting housing, and 3 places for cutting cable.
The housing cutter makes a clean cut, but inevitably crushes the end slightly. There is an "awl" for reforming the end, which consists of a pin to go into the opening, and a tapered bottom which helps reshape the cable back to its round shape. Just push the end in there hard and twist it back and forth, and the end of the cable is neat and round again.
There are openings in each side of the joint for cutting the cable, even if you can't easily get to the end, and there is a hole you can slip the end into to cut. All cut clean fray free ends easily.
There are groves cut between the handles near the joint that are perfect for crimping cable tips.
Get these and perform just one bike cable change job yourself instead of paying a bike shop to do it, and they more than pay for themselves. Get high quality Teflon coated wires, and you'll be amazed at how much better they are than most factory cables.
