Wire cutter wish list.

How I wish we can buy a wire cutter with jaws like these...tungsten carbide

Makes me realize how overpriced bonsai tools are after seeing the quality of this. I would have bought it if not for the small jaw opening.

Similar but much cheaper version http://www.ebay.com/itm/111201709360?

......but I am a sucker for made in Germany tools and willing to pay twice as much.

Are you having problems with your current wire cutters??? I have never had to replace the two I have. One is a blunt tip Joshua Roth professional I use for removing wire. And one is a scissor type that I use when wiring trees. Don't know the brand. Never had any wire cutting issues.

No issues...just want some features in what I can get IF POSSIBLE.

I think it goes back to your tool hoarding issues.....

Finally, someone who appreciates a well crafted tool.

I have a single German made 1mm wide chisel that cost me $110... Appreciative I am

Poink, you can buy a good amount of akadama for that money, especially if you already have wire cutters for removal. And I'm sure you do.

1mm? That's not a chisel, that's a toothpick!

True...but too late. I already bought an older, used, cheaper version. Not as nice, but I am sure as capable.

FYI, I love playing with tools as much as I love playing with trees in a way some (or most) will never understand. Maybe it is better understood if I say/admit that for me, it is a separate hobby from bonsai. Almost like pot collecting for some.

Haha! Yeah, it's the smallest I use. Actually it might be 2mm, don't remember... I used to be a Luthier and do a lot of inlay on guitars which is what it was used for.

Brian tell me about your luthier skill level

It is an interesting idea. Did you buy it? I think the sales are FDA regulated.
