I've some new snips

The look fine, they have yet to be used in anger though.  I could do with finding a replacement screw but fear it will be an old thread that I don't have anything similar to.

There's a shop in leicester called 'all screwed up'  I might be able to help you out if you can measure the thread of the screws for me.

They look really handy Neil 

Have you tried trimming nasal hair with them?

Thanks, I'll go through my oddments box first and give you a shout if I fail.  Most of the stuff I come across is metric so I might struggle.

If you do a Google search for nipper replacement jaws, you'll find 'em.  I'd post the link but don't dare.

BTW, those look like "oval head" machine screws, so should not be hard to find a replacement.

Links would be good as my googling is getting me nowhere

Nippers like this seem to have been made primarily in 5" and 7" versions.  Does anyone know where the measurement should be taken from?  Handle tip to handle tip mine are 5" wide and roughly 7" in height.  I'm guessing these would class as 7"
