Years ago when my boys were young, I had one pair of ercnomical kind, and they were very costly. I came home from work, and here was my hubby and three sons using those scisories to cut fine wire for the boy scout brown derby race cars. Even when I was working and making good money, It was rare that I bought for myself. but I did buy those. I did not have to say anything, as hubby looked at my face and told the boys were in trouble. God bless. Penny
