Over on EBay ( <- click there) a seller is listing a 3-pack of precision cutters, used, for $51.80. He has sold 22 3-packs so far and has 10 3-packs left.
Lindstrom makes very hard metal cutters and one would likely last a lifetime. They’d sell for $100 a pair new.

  • ERGO™ handles with two-component combination, thermoplastic surface, for comfortable grip, on tough polypropylene core for rigidity

My only thought is why are they selling them (used) and how does he have a hundred?
not like ebay has a pic of the ones you are getting either.. just a random stock photo.

If as advertised and one lasts a lifetime why do we need 3? Nice price though.

I’d guess some production line shut down. Jewelry uses small non-copper wire where you need a hardened cutter.
