Secret Santa 2021

dougw

I was a lucky recipient of a Secret Santa gift this year so I thought I would make a quick review video of the gift to show some appreciation.

Thank you element14 and Secret Santa.

    Thanks for the tip. So that prompted me to research these tools. It turns out they are much more than just scissors, people in the trade generally call them snips. They are great for cutting wire or wire-ties or fiberglass or cardboard - a lot of stuff that scissors can't handle well. They can also strip wire and you are correct there is a trick to using the outside edge for removing oxide from bare wire. That will come in handy - my previous method required much more careful scraping.

  • They look like electrician's scissors. I think that the serrated edge on the outside is meant to be a scraper/file for the quick cleaning up of wire ends with the two larger notches being wire strippers.
