The Platinum Tools 10518C 5" Free-Fall Telcom Scissors/Snips (Clamshell Packaging) is a Linemen favorite. If the point of one blade is held straight up and the other at 180°, and then dropped, it free falls and stops 1/4" from the point, enabling the Linemen to use their fingertips to operate the snips.
