Broken scissors Free T4
on: February 16, 2021, 08:02:48 PM
Well had to see this too, i was cutting ziptie and had to bit twist and cut and this happened. I usually use micras scissors or Spirit scissors to cut zipties. My first and last time cutting with T4 scissors zipties.

This was first time i needed to twist and cut same time, usually i can cut zipties without twisting.
Next time i will use other tool to cut zipties even if i need to resharpen my blade

Sorry to see that.  I really am.  I cut a lot of zip ties and that is one of the few tasks that I concluded long ago was just better performed with a purpose built tool (diagonal snips) rather than risk damaging my multitools. :cry:

Just for clarification... first-time twisting with the T4 or first time twisting ever?

Good luck with the warranty claim.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Oh boy... two tools out for service now?
I hope you'll get them fixed without hassle.

For zipties I use that guy in top right corner, if I have it handy...

Funny, I had to think hard to what it is I actually tend to do... if I don't have snips that is. I think most of the time it's just automatic, sometimes I use a knife and ping it up, other times if the materials being held are fairly robust, I pinch and roll it over with a pair of pliers 'til it pops - like a crocodile.  :tu:
