    Stainless Steel Media

    If you are into SSM cleaning you need steel pins. New or replacement pins are not cheap. Purchased some 304 wire off TEMU. Verry quick service and the total cost is miles cheaper than buying it. TEMU had different sizes of wire giving you lots of choices. Chinese is good.

    Side cutters. Do it when you get the inclination.

    If you get tired of snipping or your wrist falls off, I have a tub of s/s media and a pick up magnet that I no longer use.
    Happy to move them on at a good price.

    You reckon the sharp ends will dull off pretty quick?

    You can buy bags of stainless pins on Ali Express. Not expensive compared to local sources.
