Yup. Kid bought something and it was packaged beyond ridiculous.
Scissors aint got enough oomph.
Pocket knife....could get expensive
Think straight cut tin snips the cure
I got a pair of scissors (shears?) from my local chink emporium (HB) for about 6 bucks. They are red with rubber inserts on the handle with blades about 3 1/2". They cut that plastic with ease also leather, light wire, etc. They lock closed and spring open, Been using mine for about 2 years and they remain sharp.
