I got this pair for around $9 on Amazon, they\u2019re the highest rated set on there and you can pick up these same ones using the Amazon link in the description, which helps support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.<\/p>\n<p>These are standard issue EMT scissors. They\u2019re purposefully blunt so you don\u2019t stab people while you\u2019re trying to help them. In the field, these are used for cutting away clothes, belts, seatbelts, bandages &#8212; anything you can think of. They\u2019re tough and strong, and cheap enough that you don\u2019t have to be precious with them.<\/p>\n<p>These are sometimes called penny cutters, because yes &#8212; they can cut through pennies. You\u2019ll never need to, but it\u2019s an impressive demo.<\/p>\n<p>Another feature most models share is this lip on the front. This is great for slipping into a tight spot without having to jab pointy-end first.<\/p>\n<p>These particular shears stand out from the super cheap ones in two ways. First, the matte black finish on here is a non-stick fluoride coating. It helps them from getting gummed up, especially when cutting through tape.<\/p>\n<p>Second, and probably most useful for makers, there\u2019s a dull notch back here perfect for stripping wire.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the non-stick coating, people will often pick these up for gardening. I\u2019ve also seen them used as kitchen scissors. These things can be autoclaved or boiled or run through the dishwasher to kill off any bacteria &#8212; and the channels in the blades help flush out any gunk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-purpose penny cutter scissors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41,2337],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30736"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30736"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30738,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30736\/revisions\/30738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
