Shears - LKunze - 03-20-2002
I'm looking at picking up a set of shears. Â What do you guys use? Â I've been looking at the "Super Shears" from the ScubaChick website. Â They cost a little more but because they have a standard squeeze type handle that you can grip with your whole hand instead of loops for your thumb and finger like the normal shears I thought they might be easier to use with thick coldwater gloves on. Â What do you think?

I have the standard ones, (not the mini) and they seem fine. Also, with the 'hooped' handles there is less chance of it slipping out of your hand.<br><br>I'm sure both work equally well though and it's personal preference probably.

I've got SeaSnips. They are very easy to hang onto. I opted for them over a knife cuz I tend to be somewhat klutzy with knives, especially in the kitchen.<br><br>Shelly

I have sea snips, kind of. For an inexpensive way to get a set take a trip to Fleet Farm. They used to sell a little hobby kit in the tool section that had clamps, a glue gun, mini screwdrivers and, what's this, it looks like sea snips without the nylon holder. The whole set was $7.00. <br><br>JoelW

SeaSnips are good. You could always wander into your local medical uniform supply shop and pick up a set of EMT shears for about $5; cheaper than the shears sold at the LDS.
