This tool is also included in a small Belkin computer tool kit
that several of the office and computer store chains
occasionally sell with a 100% rebate. The one I have was
recently advertised at OfficeMax for something like $8.00 with
$8.00 rebate.
In fairness to Hunt/X-Acto, their tool is not the yellow plastic
version that typically comes in the kits; so they may have a
more robust build quality. Don't know... and the kit variety
seems to work good enough.
Did run across an interesting link while looking for a price on
the X-Acto tool for Fred. Don't know anything about the outfit
(Widget Supply), but found their on-line catalog to be a great
resource for identifying the sorts of niche hobby tools that are
available. The link to their X-Acto line is at:
