So I found this shear at the local thrift store the other day. I'm still trying to figure out what it was originally used for (and what I can use it for). It was tagged $4.99 and was 50% off of that; how couild I go wrong? It's made of heavy cast aluminum and has a rotating shear to cut "stuff". I have found it takes 1/32" off of the edge of a piece of poster board at a time. Yeah, I'm going to have to file this one under "shit my wife wants me to get rid of".
