Hi,

Take a look at your local Ace hardware store.  Also Radio Shack.

I had bought a couple from Sharper Image several years ago when they were around $15/$20 each.  Ended up giving them to a couple of brother-in-laws for b-day/x-mas gifts.

Blades are pretty poor quality on that one Scrappy, but the pliers and diagonals are okay.  :-\

Same here! That PowerCut will be one handy dandy tool for electricians and Christmas morning dads.  :)

I don't find the blades on my Flip Grip to be poor quality.. I think they are actually pretty substantial..

it is the version with diagonal cutters that worries me. it looks like it is not as nice as the flip grip.

I like it, the sheath is a bit awkward maybe but that is a challenge with a toll that does not fold.
