guitar2005 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Has anyone tried these? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...A:IT&ih=012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have the ones from stewmac and they work great. I would rarther pay a little bit more for a tool I know will work for a long time (and get replaced if it stops working) than take a chance on some ebay tool.

DWine Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) I have...they suck. All they are is a Radio Shack Nibbling Tool with a slot cut in the base. Literally, I know for a fact this is what this guy does. I had to bare down with both hands just to get it to cut. Save your money.

Literally, I know for a fact this is what this guy does. I had to bare down with both hands just to get it to cut. Save your money. I thought those looked like the Radio Shack nibblers. I have a pair of those too (for nibbling, not for frets), and they do suck. The stew-mac ones can be found elsewhere on the net for a lot less too, if you want to look. Or just get them from stew-mac and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Thay are indeed the Radio Shack type of nibblers. I got the same ones here that I modified myself to use as fret nippers. Have a look at post #10 in this thread to see my mini-tutorial on modifying one. They worked well for a bout a day. Now they're a pain in the ass to use, the fretwire gets stuck in the nipping part of the thing, ruining some of my fretwire. I'll probably go with the stewmac one next time, or modify a Klein nibbler which is the brand stewmac uses for it's nippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
