Sure, why not?
-- edit --
But seriously...
These are the best trimming scissors I've ever used.
Tried them at the flower & garden show and was really impressed when the sales dude snipped a 1/4" stick with minimal effort.
Very few finesse scissors have balls like these.
And not having a spring is nice when things get gummy.
LIked em so much, I bought two pairs.
Hmmm, I might pick up a pair or two for a trial.Sure, why not?

I've already got a half dozen Fiskars & I seriously love those things.
Edit: Except when I snip the end of a finger - MoFo's are sharp
Gigli's are the non powered way through bone. Very little rasp clean up so you don't endanger the flap. In the OR we use nitrogen powered Hall sagittal bone saws. Most folks don't have access to nitrogen tanks. I have been involved with chain saw amputations (cleaning up after the fact). I do not recommend.

Do I’m sitting here contemplating some things. Like anomalies you know. Here we are in a world with 2/3 water, yet we have to pay for water. You know I was on a cruise where I got charged 9 dollars for a bottle of water? Unreal. It’s like delta airlines. You know delta (delaying everyone’s luggage through Atlanta). Anywho.. why do I have to pay $75 extra if my carryon is too heavy? It’s goung on the same dang plane right? And the overhead bins have locks on them. Wow. Hello?
First thank you for your service and welcome to RIU. There is a charge for desalinization. Fuel use on a plane is determined by weight.

Ty btw. Oh I wonder why I never thought of that. I thought it was a gimmick. My brain works funny like that. Sometimes I’ll notice something on the wall in my house or a family members home and I never really noticed it in years. Like tunnel vision.
Could it be what we are familiar with? For example I had to listen to the hub bitch about fuel loads for troop flights. So weight/fuel is branded into my psyche.

I’m not sure. I got hung up on thinking it was a gimmick just to milk more dollars and I failed to acknowledge the obvious that the excessive weight was the problem. My mind played a trick on me neglecting that A had nothing to do with B.
Yeah, you have to consider specifics, collecting data vs. analyzing.

I’ve started to plan a trip across the country in my 4x4. I’ve been weighing camp equipment, food, and electronic devices. All this in an endeavour to have the correct fuel load for the trip. It’s remote the route I’m taking over 1800 miles of dirt tracks and not much but beautiful country side and 4 deserts to see. I had to dust off the old brain and get my maths on, I was struggling but sprayed some of this in my ear got the cogs turning!!
I understand why your husband would bitch about it. So many variations in aviation, must be a smart fella your bloke.

I used Fiskars because they were cheap and worked reasonably well.
But you'll get into trouble when you start cutting larger branches because the joint is weak and the handles flex.
Yeah, I know... they aren't made for that.
And not having a spring really is nice.
And there's a bonus! You'll get to see how to fuck up in every way when it comes to branding and advertising.
Blades are made in Japan, but you wouldn't know unless you read the packaging.
They don't even advertise it on the website!
The handles are stamped with "Wildflower Seed & Tool Company" but it wears off fast -- especially if you clean them with alcohol.
If someone asks what kind of scissors you have, you can proudly say "Stainless Steel".

We were only 92, our natural AC just kicked in. It takes awhile to bring in the cool air.‘Twas 97 today, hottest day this late in the year since 1990 they say. Glad I got to experience it

One of my gorilla wrecks is looking... wrecked.
Got hit with stem mold early, thought I had it under control, then got fucked at the end.
