Budget knob cutter recommendations?

[JaseH]

Can anyone recommend a cheap but reasonable quality ~210mm knob cutter?

I already have a nice Kaneshin knob cutter but want a second set I can abuse for root work so I don't ruin my good set.

I purchased a cheap Chinese made set of branch cutters to do the job last year and they lasted 2 cuts before they bent so the cutting edges didn’t meet anymore - useless. So anyone purchased a reasonably cheap set lately that they are happy with?

Hi Jase,

Ryuga is a reasonably good Chinese brand that performs OK. It is of a consistent quality throughout the range.

A number of retailers stock them but I am not sure who does in Melbourne.

Hi Jase,

I purchased a few tools from this mob a couple over the last couple of years on Ebay and they are still going strong.

Cheers

Thanks Grant - Ryuga were my first thought, I'll probably go with them if there aren't any cheaper options.

I think I have a small pair of knob cutters and wire cutters I got from them early on, they are doing the job fine. But they don't do a larger knob cutter by the looks of it.

I bought a kit from these guys

I got the small stuff but they sell different sizes. Very sharp (but I don't get to cut too much stuff regularly, so I will see how they go in the long run).

The $$ conversion is a bit of a killer now too.
