Do I need a better pair of bolt cutters? Mine is American and good, but it
just smashes them down. This is pretty tough cable, and has several strands
around an inner spiraled core strand. It is 1/4".

Suggestions?

Hi Steve,
For modestly sized wire rope, wrap it up tightly with electrical tape.
Then get a sharp chisel and a BFH. The chisel will cut through
cleanly and the tape will hold the individual strands.
