The scissors that come with Wahl hair clipper kits are good too. People don’t normally use them, so if you know someone with clippers...

Yeah, or if you know your hairdresser/barber well enough, getting a small pair of hair scissors would also be magig.

Old bottom fed 510s that leak.

If you find yourself in jhb south you are happy to have them @Stew.

That's magic. Thanks very. I will message you next week and arrange a convenient time for you.
Thanks again.

Sheers work well too and I picked the bottom blue pair up from builders. Think they were under R50 but I only use vape shears these days.(top 2 pairs)

All good. I can arrange delivery too but up to you if you want to spend R60 or R70 for delivery.

LOL. Looking for scissors I saw some prices on the internet. Don't think they will give them up so easily. They are incredibly expensive.

More than will to pay the courier cost, thanks.

Send me a PM with your address and I’ll send the 510’s to you. Tomorrow might be a stretch but I can get it out on Friday.

Don’t buy on the internet, next time you go for a haircut, ask them if they can help you by ordering a small, cheaper scissor on your behalf...

Forgot about those! Most garden centers have tiny little shears that they call “herb scissors”... damn sharp and also around R50.

That's why a forum is great I guess. You get fixated on a name like scissors, didn't think of looking for sheers.

Staedler school scissors. The kids don't want it for some reason, but it works a treat.

Oh, and a super cheap, super nifty tool for tucking and positioning of cotton is a safety pin.

I use a toothpick, works like a charm!

I also have used a toothpick but every now and again the cotton sticks to the toothpick and you have to tuck it in again. Though they are always handy and convenient.

Hi @Christos, just wanted to thank you so much for the Atty Inserts I can now make my Atty Stand with. Will post some pictures when finished.

@Stew
Try using a partially opened thin paper clip - works like a charm without the cotton sticking.

I like the angle created by the safety pin and the super thin point is awesome for combing out cotton without shredding it to pieces.

I went for the Coilmaster kit which didn’t cost all that much more and is really well packaged. Anything of theirs I’ve bought has been extremely good value, especially their build mat. Coilmaster mat, 80cm x 30cm, R250. A gaming mouse mat, pretty much the same thing, 90cm x30cm... wait for it... R699.

Thanks. Standard metric nuts in South Africa are a different pitch to the atty threads. Atty threads are .0.5 mm pitch. Please be careful you don't wreck your atty's.
510 literally means 10 threads at 0.5 mm per thread. The diameter is 7mm. If you were to create this thread yourself, it would use an M7 x 0.5 tap.
Coarse thread m7's have 1mm pitch and fine thread m7's have 0.75mm thread.
Even m7 x 0.5 pitch taps to cut your own threads are not available in SA.

Hi Stew,
M7*0.5 taps and dies are available from Mican Industrial in Boksburg ... As I recall the tap was about R150 and CK flush cut side cutters you can get from Christensen Tools in JHB for around R400

Thanks very much. If I need again it's handy to know.
