EEZYCUT Trilobite line cutter

[Dusty2]

Does anyone own one of these. I have been coveting one every since I saw the demo and I wondering if they are as good as they seem.

[CaptnJack]

They are fantastic for line or webbing. I have 2 for cave diving. One on my waist and one on my light ballast. Very hard to get a cut in your suit or dry glove while using one. I suggest any color but black - which ends up being a black velcro tab in a black sheath.

They will not work on steel fishing leaders or kelp among other things.

I love mine. I keep it mounted on my computer wrist strap.

[spatman]

+1. Love mine too. I easily cut a thick piece of nylon rope with it.

[Jeff Pack]

I have a couple of them, one on my shearwater, the other on my waist belt.

I've been thinking about machining a new handle, that you can get a dryglove finger through.

Great little piece of gear! I have mine mounted the same as Josh does - really easy access, but out of the way.

+1 for me too

1 on my Shearwater Petrel
1 on Shearwater Predator Controller (rEvo)

[Dusty2]

Alright, enough rubbing it in! I don't have a CCR and I can't afford a Shearwater either.

[Mortuus]

I am absolutely in love with mine as well. I have it mounted on my waist strap webbing. You can afford that....right?

[ljjames]

they even come in P!NK (and black)

Geeze dude. These things cost like twelve bucks.

[seainggreen]

Low cost and awesome. I have put one on all of my kits. Yes, kits plural. Joy of a dual-continent lifestyle.

You won't regret getting one. They're fantastic.

[Dusty2]

Geeze dude. These things cost like twelve bucks.

[sarcasm]How about that! A piece of hi tech gear I can actually afford![/sarcasm]
Sounds like there is one in my future. Maybe Santa will put one in my stocking.

Thanks for the input guys and girls

Where are they $12? DRIS and ScubaToys show them in the middle 20's.


Yes, I know, that still isn't a lot.

Yeah mine was between $25 and $30. No idea where it's for sale for $12 =O

[Tangfish]

At the dive shows they're usually cheaper.

I could swear that mine was about $12- I bought it from Silent Scuba at their booth at the dive expo a few years back. But I could be wrong.

I guess after I spent my second 10 thousand bucks on gear, I kind of really did start thinking in "scuba units"- where 1 SU= $100. so, at < 1 SU, this purchase barely even hit my radar.

[sarcasm](I used to have a delusional mental condition that caused me to think I was rich. I'm getting better, thanks for asking. It's a process. One day at a time, you know? Are you going to eat that? [Om nom nom] hey, uh- I need to catch a bus to get my car out of impound, and, like, my wallet is actually IN the car....anyway, could I borrow a few bucks? No? Hey, where are you....OK! See you later! Great catching up with you!)[/sarcasm]

Sorry if I gave anyone false hope. Yes, the line cutters apparently cost 2x as much as I thought they did. Still an excellent value, IMO.

[Linedog]

I'm going to put one in my own stocking, I just need to decide on a color.

At my house we have created a new currency called the "ScubaBuck"(SB). $1SB = $100USD or $125SGD.

It just sounds so much better to say "Oh, my new light? It was $10 ScubaBucks." LOL

OK, got the price squared away. Now what is so great about this that is better than the run of the mill seat belt cutter that IS $10 or so?

Dunno. I bought mine after trying it out on some 3/8 poly line at the dive show. To say it cuts "like a hot knife through butter" is an understatement. So I bought one. I really like it. A run of the mill seat belt cutter might be a better deal, for all I know.

I've been using my ex-skydiving hook knife for years. They're cheap, disposable, and do exactly the same thing for a lot less money. I'm sure the Eezycut is nice, but the first time I saw it, I thought it was ridiculously priced, too. I still think that

http://www.square1.com/manufacturers/square1/p1155.asp is a link to one of the big online skydiving suppliers that has a wide selection available for a wide range of prices. Some are disposable (in the $7 range) to the $50 range if your really want to get fancy.

We used them in case of reserve parachutes that deployed with line-overs, or to cut in the case of main-reserve entanglements. I never had to pull it in 400+ jumps, but then again, I packed carefully and never had a malfunction, either...

IMNSHO they're one of the most effective tools for cutting any kind of line out there... essential part of my cave gear in particular.

[Dusty2]

They have a long razor sharp blade on 2 sides and the way it's designed it slides through stuff a seat belt cutter would have to saw through and the blades are replaceable so if it gets dull or rusts it easy to replace.

[Dusty2]

Whopee! Santa put one in my stocking! Great piece of kit! So small light and easy to store safely and cutting line is so easy you can't miss.

Thanks Santa!

[ljjames]

Mine too!!!!!!!!! P!nk even!!!!!!!

lucky us!
