Reply to comment by Central_Incisor in Scissors for life - electrician scissors for the win by ransuru

I couldn't get used to the yellow handled snips. That long bit on the one side just felt awkward even though I use my palm to cut cables and it felt really weird to use it like a normal pair if scissors (like if I'm cutting paper). The worst part about them is that they are way out of balance and I can't do my cool scissor spin into pocket move that all us low voltage guys look really cool doing.

See I disagree I think the yellow handled one's a much more comfortable to use. But yeah personal choice and all that

I just think I've been doing this for too long and they weren't solving a problem or made things easier for me so I didn't give them a real try. I also didn't know where to put them when I wasn't cutting anything. I usually put my snips in either that useless coin pocket jeans have or in a belt loop and the longer handled ones don't balance right there and would fall out.

Definetely a personal preference thing here.

I'd either just throw them into my back pocket with my screw drivers or into the coin pocket.

But I almost always have my tool pouch so I usually just put them in there.
