Default Looking for Frag clippers in Calgary

Has anyone seen them for sale in any of the stores in Calgary?
Or does anyone have a pair they are looking to get rid of.

Thanks Keith

If your going past a farm supply store like UFA or a large animal vet clinic stop in. Take a look at the snippers they use for docking pigs teeth. They are usually fairly high quality stainless steel. They look very similar to what I've seen on the net being sold as frag clippers. They'll be in the animal health section. I think the last pair I picked up were around $20.

Ebay!

If you can get to one, surgical supply stores carry them for cheap. My current pair came from G&E Pharmacy in Edmonton for $8.

Believe the term for the stainless steel cutters you see people using is "bone shears". You can try a home medical supply place like H+H Care maybe for a local supply. And as Michika mentioned, ebay is a pretty good place to look too.

I just got mine from premiumaquatics.com but I'm sure any MO outfit will sell you some if you can't find any locally or don't want to do the ebay thing or something..
