Tip: improving the SOG PowerLock scissors comfort
« on: August 05, 2012, 04:20:56 AM »
The SOG PowerLock scissors has a thin handle with sharp edges which can dig uncomfortably into your thumb.  A short length of heat shrink tubing installed over the handle provides a thumb cushion.

If the heat shrink tubing is thin and short enough, it will fit without interfering with the scissors spring.
