Scissors

I hesitatingly spent $16 on a pair of scissors for my wife... But darn are these things nice. They are actually called garden scissors and come with a sheath that has a built in sharpener. I liked them so much I bought a pair for myself.

I was rewiring Big Duck's batteries by using 2 gauge jumper cables (much cheaper than spool wire or welding cable). I used a hacksaw to cut the battery clips off one end to pull the wires through the bulkhead and rather than try the hacksaw again in close quarters I grabbed the scissors and easily cut that #2 cable to the correct length - much easier than the hacksaw or dykes.

I just might get another pair for the boat!
