Bolt croppers

[chunkolini]

My old bolt croppers are giving up the ghost, I cant remember what make they are, orange and BIG. I have used them for years so no complaints and they do get used a lot, a lot of my sculptures are made of dozens of bits of mild steel bar up to 10mm, which have to be trimmed accurately.

I have seen somewhere that you can buy replacement blades which sounds sensible anybody got any idea where I can get some of these?

Or can anybody reccomend a decent set to cut up to say 13mm bar. I am hoping to get a big set of bench shears for trimming roughly to size but I need the croppers for the final 'Nip' tp get an exact fit.

I dont mind paying for them as cheap usually means narsssty.

"Record" used to be the brand to go for - don't know if the're still about?

I know you can get replacements for Records, under the irwin brand now.
Quality wise, not sure if they are as good as they used to be...?
I wouldnt know if they would fit onto another brand of handles though.
