Where to buy EMT shears at?

How about a medical supply store?

Does anyone replace the rivot with a SS nut and bolt?

Has anyone tried to cut something and had the shears fall apart?

$10, $15....small price to pay to support your local dive shop

oh boy... are they a charity? a not-for-profit?

as far as i know, they are a business ... if they're not competitive, they're not getting my money

now, if you think you get value out of supporting your local dive shop, by all
means support them. i'm not saying you shouldn't.

i'm saying that i don't see any value in supporting my dive shop by engaging in consumer welfare

I go through these shears like every 3 months...i am not messing around with ordering them on-line to save 3 dollars...i goto my dive shop and I get them same day.....It cost me an extra $12 dollars per year and my dive shop takes care of me in other ways because I am a loyal customer.....sometimes I get a few top offs for free or a extra discount on something.....its all about relationships....

 

[H2Andy]

that's good... sounds like you have a good dive shop to work with

I go through these shears like every 3 months...

So when you say you "go through" them, what do you mean- the rivot looks like it will fall off so you chuck it, or does the rivot really fall off? At what point do you replace them?

The pair I've got now are from Scubatoys, (he's my not-so-local LDS) and the pin is rusted on the outside but seems to be still strong. The only reason I'm replacing them is the edge of the blade has rusted, so it's not very sharp.
