## Description

Versatile compact scissors from Japan, capable of cutting many types of challenging materials which you'd not normally be able cut with standard scissors. These compact scissors have superb 4-in-1 combi blades constructed from advanced materials, allowing a variety of tricky materials to be cut with ease - leather belts, CDs/DVDs, thick cord and rope, copper braid, thick electrical cable (including mains cable), thin aluminium, brass & copper sheet, even branches around your garden! (see product gallery for more examples). The scissors also have integral wire cutting jaws for cutting of solid copper wire. The ph-55 scissors also perfom great in packing / dispatch departments as they facilitate opening of packaging boxes without risk of damage to the contents inside. Supplied with a plastic protective cap.

Review: Essential for First Aid Kit - Very sharp. Very strong. I replaced the cheap junk shears in my FAK after discovering how useless they were, whilst trying to cut someone's long-haired dog free from brambles. This is not the situation you want to be in when you find out that your kit is junk. These replacements really are worth the money. The blade protection fits with a nice click and enough force so it doesn't fall off. The grips are sturdy and allow you to apply a lot of force - useful if you need to cut through brambles as thick as your thumb, or boot leather or very heavy cordura. Obviously there is no "guard" as with first aid snips, so caution needed if cutting tight clothing away from skin, and especially since the one scissor blade is semi-sharpened on the outside - good for splitting parcel tape - but so is a key. The serrations at the inside of the scissors work well to grip the thing being cut, so the force is applied directly to cutting, rather than the item sliding forwards out of the jaws as would be the case if there were no serrations. Great quality.
Review: Absolutely Brilliant Shears - I love these scissors!! They'll cut through thin aluminium sheet in a pinch but will damaged the teeth a little. Will cut through anything softer with ease - including copper cables and heavy fabric. They're good for wire stripping, opening boxes and cutting zip ties. The sheath has a very satisfying click so they're easy to carry around. Finger holes are plenty big enough for any size hand. They're so good I bought a second pair and carry them with me daily. For £16 you can't go wrong with these. They're cheaper than the Klein ones!
