Most of these tools I've been using for many years in my communications field and yes they are quality tools, Wiha also has a nice micro tool lineup.

Yes that would be a good product line to go with. Some of the tools are available now on e Bay, but the quality is poor.

I like Bargain Shopping G.C. when i can find them and on these Fiskar's I hit the Bargain with a Hammer I got 4 new Fiskar Scissors)  I was only going to Get one or Two then I seen how much they were at Joann Fabrics it was a No Brainer to get the 4 I got the smaller size Scissors you see the Amplify cost around $25 bucks before they went on clearance on clearance I got 2 of them for $6.95 a piece and the longer Scissors I got them at 40% off + plus an additional 20% because of the ad coupon they added it's nice when you can buy stuff at prices like these..

You found a very good deal #3 . and I'm also a bargain shopper like you. I purchased a DeWalt power tool from a store display and got 40% off plus a full year factory warranty. Your Fiskar's are high quality and will last.

Yup use em correctly they should Last for a long time it's been a long time since buying my Last and I was surprised they still make the Original 4"  from years ago They include the No.5 Stitcher, The Dressmaker, The Seamstress, and the Tailor all made in Finland they may have only changed them slightly from what I can tell on mine G.C. I'll post a picture of my 1989 Made in in USA Fiskars and the one that are made just about like them but are made in Finland.  Plus I added the one's I bough through the 90'2 and of a few years ago.. The model that has the Black Coating are my Non Stick for using with Foam Tape the pair on right of them are my newest Stitcher from Finland..

On your black coated, I have a question? I cut foam double sided stick tapes and a black sticky tape around wire bundles in computers, would these work for me without leaving the sticky mess on the blades?
