Cutting Steel Cable for Railing

One hand challenge, who’s in?? 😎🤣..#deck #build #builder #railing
What happens here
The video illustrates the action of cutting a steel cable, which is part of a cable railing system, using a pair of red-handled pliers. Initially, one individual attempts to cut the cable but struggles to sever it, indicating the material's strength or a need for better leverage. Another individual then takes the pliers and successfully cuts through the cable with apparent ease, demonstrating either a stronger grip, better technique, or the correct application of the tool for the task. The cables appear to be part of a modern decking or patio railing setup, likely requiring multiple such cuts during installation or adjustment.
Goal: Neatly cut the steel cable to the required length for the railing system.
