Vic springs
on: October 05, 2010, 04:28:42 PM
Anyone know where I can get replacement scissor/pliers springs? The spring in my Swisschamp's pliers broke last night and I don't have any more salvaged spares laying around. I tried contacting Rotokid about it some time ago ( a few weeks), but never received any response from him. All I need is a couple of springs, and don't wanna pay for his entire overhaul kit. For the time being I'm going to take one out of my CT-34, but I'm going to need to find some new replacements soon.

I'd be giving Rotokid another shout, failing that Tim's your man.
I'm back!!

Go to a store that has a lot of Vics, they'll most likely have replacement parts

We don't have any stores like that anywhere near me. Best I can do is Target or Wal-Mart.

This company sells a bunch of SAKs on Ebay but the website mentions special orders.

I have ordered from Central Valley on a number of occasions (in fact, I have an emerald Champion Plus in the mail coming from him right now).  I have found him to be very quick and responsive.  I have bought parts from him in the past, such as the mini-screwdrivers.

I think my local store has it, if you can't find any I may be able to help you get some.

Just email me your address and I'll send you a couple of springs, no charge.

I have tons of them and they will go in a regular envelope no problem. Just remember me next time you are looking to buy something. Thanks.
