I stumbled on these while looking for stocking stuffers. They are designed for chopping up credit cards. You can cut 5 strips about 2.25" long and they are about 1 HO scale foot wide. Something else to clutter up your bench.

Those are handy. Thanks for the tip. I take it these can be found at office supply stores.

I'm not allowed to play with scissors, only electricity.
Jaime, CVS of all places...
Doug even you would be safe with these, just no running!

When my wife heard you mention cuttin' up credit cards, she immediately put you on her 'Chit List'!
Not a place you want to be! :( :( :(

Randy, I can't believe you let me by with this quip!!
Hal,
Those look pretty neat, I'll have to look for them next time I'm in CVS... And then do some experimenting ... We'll have to compare notes and share them here.
Cheers,

Those look very similar to a tool sold in many kitchen/cooking stores that's used to chop up herbs. Actually they're probably the same thing but simply repurposed.
Which would be my best buy:
Herb Cutting Scissors
Credit card Cutting Scissors
Model Shingle Making Scissors

Just ran across this thread, interesting tool - I will also take a look next time I'm at CVS.
Micro-Mark will sell them as "model shingling scissors" at a 'reasonable markup'.
(I'm not faulting Micro-Mark for being clever and repurposing items like their "static grass rake.")

Neat...they might be just the thing to cut up some cedar for shingles.
They were accualy invented to shread paper!
