Shortcut/Tip February 6, 1999:
Tightening Tin Shears


If your tin shears refuse to cut even though you sharpen the edges, try this. Separate the halves and grind down the inside faces just around the pivot holes. This should bring the two cutting edges closer together so that they will bite proportionately.

If you have a source to add, or comments, just let us know.
