Here’s a great set of everyday, useful shears. The scissors are standard issue for EMT, and they get their namesake because they can actually cut through pennies.

The shears aren’t pointy, which is invaluable when you’re trying to carry them around, and they have a matte black finish with a non-stick fluoride coating. This keeps the shears from getting sticky when cutting through things like tape. You can also strip wire with the notch on the back of the scissors.

The scissors have many applications from in the kitchen to gardening, or just a handy garage addition. For only $9 it’s a great pair to have on hand.
