I've been struggling a bit with the original strap cutter, so I've been waiting for videos about the mini and the redesign. I'd love to see how they both refill with blades, and the differences between the original and redesign.
@@freddiemoretti8456 yes, but the blade needs to also be reversed, which I wasn't able to do. I even took it into the store I bought it from to see if they could help with it. They were clueless and just suggested I try to use it right handed. sigh.
Bought the buckle guy wooden strap cutter. Head will not tighten down on base. Slips after cutting about 2 inches and widens the strip. Sent email to buckle guy. Still haven't heard back from them. I'll stick to a knife that works. Maybe I just got a bum one, but no communication back stinks.
I had the same problem. I had to re glue the threaded insert into the handle with epoxy so I could really crank it down tight. It still struggles cutting thick leather
@@jacobfielding8661 I had to glue a crack in mine too! I wonder if there was a production issue. First time I'd ever had any problem with any BG product. It was the first design.
Greetings Buckle Guy! Do you find that the shorter strap cutter is easier to maintain constant width without too much attention (tension) being applied? I made a change on the wooden handle which has made it work with less attention being paid to keeping the cut a constant width. th-cam.com/video/Er1_uPr_MpM/w-d-xo.html I like the looks of the smaller cutter. Cheers...Freddie
My feeling is if you are often doing thicker leathers go with the wooden version. Bigger handle so better grip and strength can be applied. Both I find to be the same in terms of keeping your attention!

The exact mini strip cutter is on Amazon for $9
BG $30
What do we do if we're left handed? I have the wood one and can't use it because I'm left handed. Can Someone make one please.
Have you tried turning it upsde down?

Hi Guys - was this our previous version or the new version?
