Sharpening End Nippers?
Playahstation:
So i'm in the process of modifying the UGC's to NES ready.
I tried using the dremel tool, but it was to no avail as the blade kept breaking on me after about a case or so, and would take me another 5 minutes just to get a new one on. So what I have been doing is using the end nipper method to remove the tabs, from their I am sandpapering them down just a little bit and putting foam tape on where the tabs were as well as the top and bottom. it has gone pretty well so far, but I am 12 cases in and I can tell the nippers are not as sharp as they were and there is no way they will survive the 28 NES cases I have left to do.
Any suggestions on how I can sharpen the end nippers, or am I shit out of luck and got to go get another pair.

Honestly, I have been using an oscillating tool I bought real cheap from harbor freight and you can modify a ugc to hold an nes game in a matter of seconds. i would just go that route cause it is much, much faster and pain free.

any idea as too how much one of those would cost at my local home depot or lowes?

if you get them at a home depot or lowes you will be paying a premium price. but if you get if from a harbor frieght or even on amazon it will only cost you no more than $25.00.
