Reply to comment by friendlyfire883 in Scissors for life - electrician scissors for the win by ransuru

Just so that we are talking about the same scissors this is the electrician's scissors I have. It makes no mention of a comb and specifically refers to the outside edges as having a scraper/file.

That's wild, I don't think you could file much of anything with those scissors. I was taught to use then to comb cat 6 10 years ago and I've been doing it ever since.

My understanding is that they were to round off any burrs from power box knock out holes. More like burnishing and deburring than removing large amounts of metal. Hell, it's cool you found a good use for it!
