Anyone know any place you can buy the compact cable cutters pictured below? The only places I have seen them are out of stock.

I found them last year on some other site, not a trapping supply place, and bookmarked the link to them, but now the link doesn't even go to the website. frown

If I can’t find them I’m pretty sure they grew legs and walked out and I’m pretty sure where they went.

I have both. I keep the Swiss c7 on my snare building bench but these compact cable cuts just as well, cleanly every single time, and are a lot better to carry on the line. They also don’t cost $75 to replace them.

They just say made in the USA. I think they maybe they are made by Koch. That didn’t help my search. I only find the larger ones linked to above.

Looks like they were made by a company called Swage-It tools, which was absorbed by U.S. Rigging Supply in 2021. I looked a while and was unable to find any for sale, it may be all over for them baby blue…
I haven’t fully given ip, but I am quickly running out of tricks.

Looks like this place has them as part of a kit, but $70 for the kit.

These are the Koch ones.

Knipex makes some different types.

I found where the ones you’re looking for maybe discontinued.

It's looking like have been discontinued. Hopefully there's a stock pile of them that will turn up at some point. I'll be very careful not to lose the ones I have until then.

Those are the best cutters, I have cut thousands of cables with them. Have you checked with Cumberland's? That's where I got my last one. You'd probably have to give them a call, I don't remember ever seeing them online.

Sorry, I didn't see the second page. ADC if you find the stockpile, I'll give you a dollar to tell me where it is before they're all gone.

I asked, they won't sell them separate of the kit. Must not have a big stockpile of them.
