Title: Dental Scissors
Post by: free the bees on November 15, 2017, 09:11:14 PM
I am looking for new scissors and surprised at the price of some of them.  Got me thinking, has anyone used the likes of dental or medical scissors?

Boots used to do very cheap scissors with a really good point on them.

Worth having a look. I think they were £1 each.

These come highly recommended on the Salmon Fishing Forum and I have used a pair for over a year now with no problems.

I've got fancy scissors and rubbish scissors, one of the best pair's I have are moustache scissors I bought for a pound! Which is ironic as I'm 30 and can't grow facial hair.  :lol:

Not to do with scissors but I do notice that on eBay just now there is a new Anvil Atlas vice available with offers at about £75 or so.
