I own several custom boxes , but my all time best sounding box caller was a primos box cutter my mom gave me for bday gift years ago . I yelped up a pile of gobblers with that thing !  It just had a great ring to it . Sadly , my house flooded in 2016 , and I lost that call . I have bought several of the newer primos box cutters since the flood  , they sound decent , but not even close to my old one !

I have a Box Cutter and a nice custom and the Primos Box Cutter sounds just as good if not better. Called in a lot of birds with this thing.

A great call...Primos Lil' Heartbreaker is even a bit better IMO

Hmm.  I've got a box cutter. It sits in my truck and the kids play with it.   Might need to swap it out.  Its not my favorite call.

Just the other day pulled mine out of call box and put it in my hunting bag cause I haven't used it in years. It does sound good.

  Anyone use a primos wet box waterproof box call? I picked one up the other day at a flea market and have no idea if it's any good or not. It's still in the package but is a nice looking call. It appears to be finished very well. I also have an older primos box call I can't remember the name of it. It's green laminated wood and is very high pitched. It's a good call to cut the wind and strike a bird but I never try to use it to finish them. Always switch to a glass and diaphragm to close the deal.

I have a Box Cutter and Lil' Heartbreaker.  They both sound good.  I have a wide variety of factory box calls by a number of different company's and these are two of the best sounding.  The Quaker Boy 10 Sider is another.

The Box Cutter was my favorite for years. Then, I lost it somehow. A member here found one for me and shipped it to me last year or the year before. Needless to say, it's in my vest. They sound amazing. Would love to find a Heart Breaker that people weren't asking a mint for but those days are well in the past.

  The little heartbreaker might be the other one I was trying to think of. It does sound good mines just a higher pitched yelp than the others though.

Are the TTG's worth the $60 they're asking? Are they any better than the BC's?

Absolutely and they are almost identical to the Lil Heartbreaker with the addition of thumbcuts like the Box Cutter/Clear Cutter. Lots of crazy stimulus spending this year, I collect Primos and track prices on ebay this year is just stupid high. 75.00 for a used Jackpot slate that you can find often for 10.00 -15.00.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210416/610ed7bca7071f454fbb6c3cad91002b.jpg)

Love to have a HB. But I ain't paying the money they want for them these days. I get they're good. And I was a huge primos fan before the big sellout. Some of the stuff is still good but they're still production boxes. If the guy in here hadn't gotten one for me at the reasonable price he found it, I would've been without the BC for the rest of my days. Thankful to have it but I just don't fully understand how they got A's out of control as they did. I may look into a TTG but, for about the same price, you can get a box from Spring Creek.
