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.

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

Excellent tip, and not spendy.  I like it.

“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. So do not take the lecture too seriously, feeling that you really have to understand in terms of some model what I am going to describe, but just relax and enjoy it. I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing." Richard Feynman, 1964, MIT.
