Knipex cobolt

[Roy]

I bought a pair a few years ago and there just isn't anything to compare to them. My problem is that I was spoiled by the price that I got them for and now that I want another pair, I can't find them at a reasonable (to me) price. I've been watching Ebay and even there they're going through the roof. Does anyone have a line on where I could get a pair? I don't necessarily need the spring loaded model. If they're that rare it may be best to PM me.

 

Thanks gang.

I seem to recall a post awhile back Roy where someone said you can now get them at Lowes, and for some reason I think it may have been GBW

 

Then again, I may be totally wrong

[Skipper D]

They must be really rare Roy , i can't even find then in the index of the New Fisherman's Encyclopedia ........ lol .

[Roy]

Thanks Lew. I'll follow that up.

[Roy]

They're bolt cutters, Skip.

correct! I got mine for $49 @ Lowes

[darsky]

Roy,if you visit Plattsburg every so often Lowes has them in the Plumbing dept

[Roy]

Thanks Geoff. That's what I paid for them a coupla years ago.

 

Thanks Darren...might be my only option.

Roy, http://theringlord.com they are in alberta.

 

i only see the spring loaded ones on their site but it might be worthwhile contacting them to see if they carry the others.

[Roy]

It's where I got the original pair, Raf. They're a good place to deal with too! I think it was Lew who gave me the heads up on the Ring Lord back then. My youngest buys a whack of stuff from them and she was able to get a little discount on top of their already fair price.
