And for those of us lucky enough to be in the US of A; the Chinese make these available for dirt cheap:

I have found them to be serviceable and when I get an old W&B I do not pry and twist but take more than one bite around the pin and washer. When I goof; and that is often, I have a spare on hand.

Thanked: 30Just gave this method a try and it worked pretty fantastically. However, the steel pin put a nice little divot in my cutters. It was an easy, simple removal. Zero damage to the scales, despite the fact that they're trash anyway. I just hope I didn't ruin my cutters...

Thanked: 202That happens when you try to waste money on some cheap tools. It is better to look at decent tools or to adapt vintage good material tools to modern use.
On the other hand well done clean removing of pins, original washers saved what else one can ask for.
