Tip: improving the Gerber M400 scissors comfort
on: December 04, 2014, 03:28:08 AM
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:

Good to know.  :tu: 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.

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