Would you use the scissor holder that goes around your neck?

I don't like wearing lanyards with name tag when I have to. When possible I take a pin or brooch to pin it down! :)

This is me too. I have a pair of snips I pin to my shirt on a retractable key chain.

No not around my neck that would get in my way. I have drawers on my machine cabinet,keep my ripper,awl and scissors in the left hand corner of top one, always know where they are. If I am doing hand work have a table at my side and lay needed items there.
