Sounds like my late DH --- my 4" Ginghers were just the right thing to cut his wirre with ---- I got the nick worked out of the blade, but they are not "true" so keep them in my remember box. I still look for a pair to replace them. Of course he couode always point out the telescoping magnet I was always borrowing from his toolbox. Finally one Christmas he gave jme a set of two ---one a bit larger than the other and I now have my own toolbox. LOL
