1 dollar dive shears

Take the attached coupon to your local Harbor Freight store.
Heck for 1 dollar, they can be tossed after each dive if they rust.

Harbor Freight is a sweet place. $5 for 5 shears...not a bad deal.

HHMMM an excuse to go to Harbor Freight. There is something special about cheap, orange, chinese tools. I have had the same grinder for 6 years, and it still works! And the best part, It was only $8.

They'll rust. FAST.

But at that price, you may not care. Keep that Chinese economy going!

Good deal for a buck, but don't put it in your mouth it is probably painted with lead paint.

Just what I want, safety equipment which won't last the week.

The chinese only put lead paint on Childrens toys, they don't waste the good stuff on cheap shears.

I didn't get a "cheapie" pair, but got one elsewhere per my OW instructor suggestion, he said it'd cut thru a wire leader of a fish line quicker than hacking with a knife....more peace of mind for when I dive....

I don't know where you dive, but the number of people I see without any shears or any kind of a knife makes me post something like this up.

I would rather see someone spend $1.00 on a set of shears that will rust in a couple of dives than have them go down without anything!

I just dove last weekend on a site where there is a mini-wall in my lake, the salmon sit at the bottom of it, so trawling fishermen like to use braided stainless lines to get the lures down. Upon coming up the wall, I found a piece of the stainless wire between two rocks and started pulling on it to get in free. After 20 min of following it and pulling it from rocks, I found that it was over 200' long, and the only thing that would cut through it was my shears- my oceanic spinner knife was completely unable to get through it. That night my dad, who was diving with me that day, bought himself a pair of shears. Even though I didn't get caught in the wire, I was happy to know that they would have cut through in an entanglement if I had one. I now have 2 pairs of shears, one freshwater and one saltwater, and won't go diving without them.
