last time I did this was about 10+ years ago... what are the best DIY and commercial options today?

BD did an excellent job redoing the slings on my Camalots. The slings have not broken yet; that's a good thing.

We getting you back on the rocks Don? :)
I've sent the BD stuff back to BD to get them re-slinged. Other than that I've just tied a new piece of cord to make my own. Not sure about other professional options.
Does FISH do sling repair?

Metolius completely clean, polished and lubed the cams I sent in for reslinging. I thought they sent back the wrong cams at first. It was very resonable also, maybe $3 a cam. I know they only do Metolius brand cams. I sent my BD cams to BD.
If you want one stop shopping Mountain Tools in Carmel will do them all.

Second on Mountain Tools. They don't impose BS limitations on whose cams they'll re-sling, or on the age of the cams. Super service, quality work.

thanks all, I must have used Mountain Tools before as I recall sending them all to one place. After the info of where to look I found this

Skip - never left, but certainly slowed down since back surgery a few years ago. Climbing since 1968 and 1000's of miles of hiking sure has a cumulative effect on the old bones...

About $9.00/ sling? ---I'll probably just roll my own and tie them myself

Yates:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We no longer have 12mm Dyneema available.
We will no longer be able to resling cams older than 10 years.
