Tip: improving the Gerber M400 scissors comfort

The Gerber M400 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 scissors handle provides a thumb cushion.
If the heat shrink tubing is thin and short enough, it will fit without interfering with the pliers.
I described the same modification to the SOG PowerLock scissors here:

A man with one multitool always knows exactly which to use. A man with many multitools is never quite sure.

Good to know.
I never found the MP400 scissors to be uncomfortable. Wenger scissors on the other hand are terribly uncomfortable to use. Even if is just cutting paper.

I'm expecting a 400 in the mail and can't wait to give it a try.

Neat idea mate.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.
