I was looking up the U.K. dealers before I managed to control myself, (for now!)

A hundred bucks for a pair of nippers ?

It's not only cocaine that can be described as "God's way of telling you that you have too much money".

$50 for black and $100 for anodised?

That is disgusting; cannot even remotely be worth that amount.

$50, perhaps but $100 is silly money as that will equate to £50 and £100 respectively

How long before we see Victoria Beckham wearing one of these in the peacock bass colors around her neck? Target market is folks who have more money than brain cells.

Come on guys, they must be worth it when they come with: •2 Year limited warranty on the jaws after initial purchase.

How many other snips come with any warrenty?

How much for dentistry when using teeth?

I'll stick with my Greys for £2.50p. Less then that for nail snips if you want cheep.

Ooooh - they're nice.

I must think about changing those blunt two quid snips I bought in Barnard Castle ten years ago.........



I see that customers who bought the snips (the Abel snips, not the blunt Barnard Castle snips) also bought one of these.
It looks like a posh clothes-peg to me, but each to his own.
