Stainless Steel Tools

[Coddy]

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

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?

Coddy,

 

You sure you want to pay the price

Scroll down the pricing box for side cutter and needle nose prices

 

Alternatively there is always the following

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

Dave, December issue of BFM suggests UK hooks.

Stainless can be a little soft - so a good pair of wire cutters bagged and wrapped in oily rag should keep in good nick!

These look reasonable price wise: http://www.cdet.co.uk/catalogue/default.asp

I treated myself to a

I carry my toolbag with me on board and use this for general wire and thick nylon trace cutting

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.
