Speaking of shears, these rock. I think Klein makes good stuff, some of it is priced a little bit premium but not these shears. They retail for under $20 and if kept in a cool dry place should last eons.

I’d rather have a knife instead of scissors but some people are afraid of using knives and these guys are small enough to carry with you in a bag or sheath. They’re also strong enough to cut through thicker material and wire.

I keep mine in my toolbox, I have multitools with scissors on them and medical shears in my bag. 999/1000 tool uses for mw are covered by a knife, flashlight, and power bank, I rarely need scissors in my bag, but when you need them, you need them!
