Spirit scissors.

Such a big plier,look at Its small scissors.Very hard to use

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

On the plus side they'll cut almost anything

You could always grind off the little metal lip below the spring to get them to open wider

[Benner]

I wished that they were larger as well.

[Dunc]

They are not as good as the Swisstools of full size SAKs but as Mike said they will cut most stuff and I find a little better then the LM Blast . Of course you could get a Spirit 'S' then you wouldn't have a problem  . Another option is pair it with a Climber

It's not about size, it's how you use them  or something.

I've found that the scissors on the newer Lm tools (like the Blast), and on SAKs, and especially the Fiskars on Gerbers all cut just fine. The biggest issue with the length of scissor blades is the ability to cut in straight lines! In terms of sharpness and true cutting power, there doesn't seem to be a great deal between any of the multis tbh.

Because they are a bit longer, the scissors found on the Juice and Surge probably run out best IMO, but they are not so much better as to warrant carrying a Surge. Sledgehammer, nut and all that.

Thats true , the only one I found to be really lacking was the SOG Powerlock .

The problem with spirit scissors is the way they are shaped, outward curve + smooth edge + narrow opening = pushing stuff out. Cutting slippery rope is a pain with it since it'll push the rope out before cutting.

But surely cutting slippery rope is a job for the butter knife blade ?

Yes indeed, I have to agree with you there Dunc. That serrated edge is a thing of booty

Dunc

it's anything slippery really, like thick plastic, where knife wouldn't work well.

[AndyTiedye]

The butter knife works well on plastic, like PVC pipe.

[jzmtl]

well not those, more like credit card type plastic (and anything similar) where knife is too inprecise/danger to use.

Make that three,  I haven't found anything that they were not able to handle. Now mind you I have only attempted cardboard, string and light material
I haven't gotten out to the harbor yet to open up the side of an ocean liner.

[Benner]

Well you'd best hurry up then

I like the Spirit's scissors now that I have used them for a while. I'd wish the scissors were a little longer and tighter, but they are quite a bit tougher than those on some of my other MTs.

[Nikos]

Oh the Swiss know their way around multis alright. They've equipped SAKs with scissors for like a century, so they probably have a very good reason for throwing this type of scissors into the Spirit...
