Replacement blades for Cat-5 crimpers

[beamrider]

I've looked everywhere I can think of, and can't find these blades sold by themselves anywhere! It's just the standard small single edge razor blade that I've seen in almost every crimper out there, but Microcenter tells me they don't stock them, and most people just buy a new set of crimpers. Now, I may be old fashioned, but I can't see pitching the crimpers when all I need is the cutting blade. Anyone have any suggestions or links?

I'd check with a local commercial electronic store. Worse cse, look at the manufacturer's web site and see if they sell repair parts or can point you to an organization that does.

Absolute worse case, check with a woodworking store (like Woodcraft or Rockler) and get a good set of sharpening stones....

FWIW

Already tried every place in town, no luck. And the blade isn't dull, it shattered on me..........

Ace Hardware's have them.

Stock number is 3169075. Not cheap though .. about $9.
