Kyle Shepherd of Banding Coalition of the Americas makes hummingbird banding pliers and is getting into making band formers as well. I believe you can purchase band cutters from Phil Arpke (arpke.design<at>gmail.com). You can acquire the bands pre-stripped from the BBL these days but I know there are hummingbird banders with shear brakes who are willing to cut strips for others as well. I'm not sure about sourcing a hummingbird tarsus gauge but maybe others will know! Have you joined the humband listserv? I think that is probably the best way to get a lot of good intel from hummingbird banders
