263332 "Joseph Sullivan" <joe@j...> 2017‑09‑19 Loose shears good for what?
Over time at various sales and junk shops I have picked a handful -- say 4
or 5 shears-like objects.  They are heavy-duty scissors-shaped items that
look just like metal shears.  However, the pivot joint is loose, so metal
cannot be cut; it would just bend between the blades.  At first I thought
they could be repaired, but they seem to have been made that way.  Does
anyone have any idea what they might be good for?  Roofing, maybe?
