highnoonhunter Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Hi, I have a couple pair of the inexpensive lacing nippers that tandy sold. I ground one set down a little so it will work for 3/32" and left the other set at 1/8" wide. Recently I began offering a set of patterns for sale for do-it-your-selfers to use to make their own quivers. In my tool list I recommended the lacing nippers. Mainly because it's pretty much a must have tool for building my quivers. But one of the folks that bought my patterns couldn't find them. So I tried to locate them and I'm coming up with nothing! Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions? Tandy has some lacing nippers in stock. I just picked up 2 pair in my local Tandy store here in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The Tandy stock number is: 3460-01. They cost me $4.99 (Gold Membership price). ... thought I would pass on the info ... Edited June 10, 2012 by GoldenKnight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenKnight Report post Posted June 10, 2012 Look about half way down the page. http://www.goodsjapa...sels/Categories I have every style i could find, these are hands down the best. Those do look like well made nippers @ the link you provided, but for less than 1/10th the price, for a hobby or entry level crafter, and for less expensive shipping costs these Tandy lacing nippers are hard to beat for general projects. I've started to get a few Barry King tools that I use most for my projects, but my first assortment of tools have been Craftool by Tandy. The same principal applies here too - if I waited until I had the funds to to buy the high-end stuff, I wouldn't have been able to hone my skills & experience or begin doing any projects. There's a lot of folks in this category. I'd rather have a new Mercedes Benz, but my 11-year old Ford is running & is good transportation. Thanks for the link, though. When the piggy bank gets fatter those nippers might be an option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
