Thread: another use for flush cutters

I managed to find a flush cutters at Lowe's packed at snips with some needle nosed pliers (even though they are labeled as snips they do have one flushed side). I have not used these on a razor or strop because I just got them yesterday.

They're made by Cobalt and I dunno what that extra piece of metal in the jaws was intended for, but it seems to keep the piece you are cutting off from shooting across the room. It just wedges the waste in the jaws so you don't loose it. Maybe that is what they intended.

So, if you don't want to order on line, check Lowe's if you have one in the area.
