Green Acres 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 I know Cabela's used to sell them, but I can't find them on their website I got one there a couple of years ago at one of their retail stores it's basically just a medical capacitor with a diffrent tip keep the faith they are ou tthere and if you find them, I think you can replace just the tips, depending on whats gone wrong with yours Pauly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopper John 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Before you buy you may want to check with your family doctor. They use a similar tool to remove small growths and such. The tool is used only once and discarded. The end can be cut off with a tubing cutter to allow for the replacement of batteries. It is called a Surgical Cautery. Can't hurt checking and it may save you a few bucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iowaflyguy 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 They are also available from mad riveroutfitters. I sometimes shop there for the free shipping over $25. This month they have c&f flyboxes 30% off. I have wanted one for a while and at that price I finally pulled the trigger and got one. Enter the online store and click on monthly specials for instructions. Feather-craft shows it on their sight too. Several months agoI ordered one. They told me it was back ordered. When it did not come in for several weeks I gave up and cancelled the order but it might be another place to try. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
