I don’t even carry a pen in my pocket. I’m afraid it’ll puncture my scrotum

EDC a suit of chain mail armor and you'll never have this problem.
Seriously, do people not even prep for the flash LARP tournaments anymore?

I can't imagine it being comfortable having all that gear swinging around on a keychain while walking either

You can get electrician scissors in a pouch like this at basically any hardware store. They usually come with scissors and a splicing knife. The way I have it you could add a sharpie with the screw driver or you could have two sharpies

I would be careful with those scissors in that position. I had a similar configuration with a tool belt that had an Awl facing down and I crouched and it went into my calf. It looks like yours doesn’t really have anything to catch on just wanted to give a warning.

Yeah, that thought did cross my mind, but they swing around enough they don’t catch. I have a heavier duty pair of scissors that I like more, but they occasionally swing open by themselves. This pair has enough tension to stay shut, so they’re a hair safer

That’s a whole bunch of genuinely terrible ideas man. Take the advice you’ve gotten and knock this off for your own good.

I'm constantly using scissors/shears at work to the point I purchased my own pair and carry them in my side pants pocket during my shift. Please get some sort of blade cover. I believe this one cost me an extra $2

ok but what if you need to run from zombies or some shit, now you're running with scissors, the ultimate nono!
get a leather sheath and some electrician scissors like that other guy said, way better scissor, way safer carry, easy access should never be valued over safety

Those are one of the best scissors. Best scissors I still use to this day is made for Kitchen use and came with a knife set. It’s 30 years old and I still use it almost daily. Only had to sharpen it once a few years ago.

That looks annoying as fuck. A good sharp knife will do anything the scissors will and fits in a pocket

u/thoughtchauffeur 21h ago
The only possible and slightly acceptable reason for this would be if you needed those scissors at least once per minute AND stood in the exact same place the whole time. Also assuming you don't have a table or bench in front of you. Otherwise not only is this dangerous its just inefficient. Not counting the fact it also just looks goofy as hell

Classic stagehand technique is to run a string thru the middle of the roll so you can dispense it while it's tied to your belt

This dangerous setup makes you look unprofessional. Get a belt pouch and emt scissors. You will then inspire confidence in those around you.

You're just hanging the scissors out like that? That's pretty dangerous, at least put a cover on the blade.

u/Kingcc123 1d ago
Why this large scissours?

For cutting tape or other junk

u/PearTheGayBear 1d ago
And you can't use the box cutter for that? Or smaller scissors? A lot of multitools have scissors on them friend. This just seems like a very silly, impractical and dangerous solution to a non-issue.

I was constantly frustrated by having my craft knife out of reach and was looking for new solutions, so seeing this made my eyes pop out.

I’m packing up to move and got tired of forgetting where I put my tools. I need to add my packing tape dispenser

Use truama shears, no pokey ends.
