As water feature installers, my sons and I are used to hard, dirty, sometimes dangerous work. We enjoy what we do, whether it\u2019s digging ponds, plumbing pumps, rolling boulders or tweaking waterfalls, but we also value anything that helps make the work easier or more fun. We\u2019re always looking for tools, apps or gadgets that save time & effort, eliminate stress, add to our comfort on the job or are just fun to use. Often a buddy will turn us on to one. I\u2019d like to return the favor by passing our favorite Tools That Don\u2019t Suck along to you.<\/p>\n

Making the Cut<\/h4>\n

Construction Scissors \u2013 No, not the kind I use for construction paper when playing with my grandkids. These are exactly the opposite. I use razor sharp, heavy duty Wiss W10TM scissors nowadays when we\u2019re building water features. It took some convincing to make me understand how useful they could be. Once again, I learned from my boys.<\/p>\n

We were at a job a couple of years ago when I noticed one of my sons, Edwin or Ely, trimming liner at a job using these scissors. (I don\u2019t remember which. They both had long hair back then, it was hard to tell the difference. ?) They told me that Koi Market\u2019s Shawn Rosen had turned them on to them. As I\u2019ve mentioned before, Shawn has a good eye for tools, and koi, of course. I was initially skeptical. I\u2019m a blade guy at heart. Plus, I couldn\u2019t help but remember how hard it was to cut liner with the old pair of tin shears I keep in my bucket for emergencies.<\/p>\n

Wiss W10TM Scissors<\/h4>\n

These were a totally different story. With a little practice and the right amount of tension on the sheet you can just glide the partly open scissors through liner and underlayment as fast as you can move your arm. They\u2019re way faster than a cordless cutter or even a razor knife on clean liner. And they don\u2019t just work on liner. We\u2019ve used these to open just about everything from cans to boxes, punch holes in \u00bc\u201d thick pump vaults, cut aluminum flashing and light gauge steel, strip wire insulation, even eat with. You do what you have to when they forget to give you a fork.<\/p>\n

One last thing – if I do happen to need scissors when I\u2019m playing with my grandkids, my old pair still works great on construction paper\u2026.<\/p>\n
