sirkentesquire Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 A quick question, is StewMac the only place that sells fret tang nippers? I've been looking around and haven't found an alternative, but I may just be inept. I'm sure the ones from StewMac are fine, but it's good to have options and all. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Wow, I totally read your post wrong, I thought you meant the cutters. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Actually the Stew Mac tang nipper at $39.95 is nothing more then a modified sheet metal nibbler cutting tool. What they did was have the manufacturer file a slot on the end so that the crown of the fret wire would slide in. If you have one close by you can get an unmodified version and file the groove yourself at Ace Hardware for $26.99 or if you would rather pay shipping and wait you can score one from Isham's for $20.95 Just remember to file the groove in the right place because the Stew Mac version is held upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
