Coddy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi I am looking to obtain a couple of s/s tools for use on the baot and fishing. Needle nose pliers and side cutters Can anyone suggest a good place to purchase them from? Thanks Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 While on Tools Dan is starting to think of collecting some, for his apprenticeship work. He intends to slowly build up some Blue Point ones, does anyone know of a good source? Cheers Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffa Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Coddy, You sure you want to pay the price http://www.cdet.co.uk/catalogue/product/de...sp?productid=PU Scroll down the pricing box for side cutter and needle nose prices Alternatively there is always the following http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__stainless-s...6.c0.m14&_pgn=6 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KAMASA-STAINLESS-STE...A2%7C240%3A1318 or probably better quality http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-MULT...A2%7C240%3A1318 Peteg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks Pete I have a multi tool which is useful but I was looking for seperate tools. Did see the Cdet models but did not like the idea of the spring holding them open. Agreed the price is !*!*!* Didn't think of E-bay so will have a good search. Thanks again Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Stainless can be a little soft - so a good pair of wire cutters bagged and wrapped in oily rag should keep in good nick! Rob These look reasonable price wise: http://www.cdet.co.uk/catalogue/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffa Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I carry my toolbag with me on board and use this for general wire and thick nylon trace cutting http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchB...oduct&R=2081988 Its a super sharp tool that requires minimal effort to operate. I didn't buy it specifically for the boat but for my general electrical/electronic site work . It hasn't shown any signs of rust yet and is still razor sharp after 10 years.
