A pair of small sidecutters that fit in the pocket are easy to carry and very effective for snipping tire valve stems.

Wonderful. I once tried unsuccessfully to cut a predator snare off the neck of a raccoon. My knife wasn't the right tool. So now there's always a pair of sidecutters in my truck

Sidecutters work pretty well too.

Sadly the Chinese nylon and tiewraps have survived the winter here too. Flamethrowers would appear to be the best solution unless you fancy shinning up a lamppost with some sidecutters gripped in your teeth.

My nicest sidecutters (Lindstrom 8248), complete with note to workmates to not use them. These puppies are so beautifully made I can cut individual leads off SOICs.

also deleted "Cover (PT)" in my 400-CD changer with a pair of sidecutters and anger because it's actually useless and was getting in my way

Sidecutters meet tyre valve sends a message here. For high end car yards doing it, the hammer verses “A” post tends to get their insurance company’s attention

Advent calendar day 21: Wire or side cutters. Snip cable ties and trim wires cleanly.
Tip: Keep them for metal and hard plastics only. Using side cutters on rope or other materials will dull the cutting edge much faster.

Top modelling tip.
Don't ever get the base of your thumb next to sidecutters when cutting sprue. It hurts a lot. The cut is narrow but deep.

A dedicated hobby hand saw you can make steady back-and-forth motions with, alongside a reliable set of hobby sidecutters will be your friend for most everything you need done. A pin vise is also recommended for making holes- especially because you can then make pegs for reassembly with jewlery wire

If you witness a kidnapping and want to stop it you can use these sidecutters to clip two tire valve stems in about 20 seconds. The kidnappers will have two flat tires and can't escape. Easy to carry hidden in your back pocket. Good ones run $15-$20. Been seeing many kidnappings on social lately.

Real Grades are hard, finicky builds. I'd recommend starting with a High Grade, but if you think you've got the patience (and a good pair of sidecutters) then you could do a real grade.
Your Miniso will likely have a real grade kit or two.

I stopped being even remotely accurate at anything around the time Russia fed the entire pre war VDV into an airport sized blender. It’s just gotten weirder and weirder, like, we have rocket armed ground drones, and a counter to one of the most terrifying weapons in memory is a pair of sidecutters!

Spray paint for van windows, ice pics for tires, extra cuff keys, sidecutters for zip ties. They can't kidnap anyone if they can't do their jobs.
