Hot Deal: Engineer Compact Scissors

Engineer Inc Tetsuwan Scissors

Earlier today I posted about I Heart Engineering’s low fire sale price on an Engineer L-wrench driver kit. That product already sold out, and I’m assuming ToolGuyd readers were responsible for that.

Back when I ordered some Engineer tools in late 2012, I also ordered these PH-55 Tetsuwan scissors for $29.45 plus shipping. They’re now priced at $11.64 plus $5.39 shipping via I Heart Engineering’s Amazon store, or $10.01 plus $14.24 shipping via their direct store.

So that’s $17 (via Amazon) for Japanese-made compact scissors that feature a partially micro-serrated blade, blunted points, U-groove wire cutters, and comfortable handles. The outer edge of one of these blades is shaped as a safe box opener.

These scissors are fantastic, so I of course ordered another one. The finger loops are somewhat small, but I don’t mind it, especially since this allows for alternative grip positioning. Their size, as well as the included blade guard, make these Engineer scissors excellent for an EDC or portable tool kit.

Made in Japan

Just in case you’re wondering, according to Google, Tetsuwan means Astro.

There are a bunch of other Engineer tools that are being heavily discounted by I Heart Engineering. Prices continue to drop every hour, but supplies are limited and will not be restocked by I Heart Engineering.

    Thanks for the tip! These look great for my Video bag, so I grabbed a pair on Amazon. Said they had 5 left in stock.

    Thanks a million! I was lucky enough to get this on Amazon and at the time they had 4 left in stock, now it is sold out.

    I ended up picking up the combination scissors (PH-51) and also picked up the last precision tool (DK-10) and diagonal cutting nipper (NK-36)… I need help in passing up good deals for things I don’t really need.

    It looks like a, made-in-China kitchen knife.The blades probably aren’t as thick as they are made to look. I have a more snazzier looking multifunction kitchen knife at about 1/8th the price and it is serving me well.

    The Urge to buy Nipponese hand tools usually stems from a self created mental hype for the stuff. Their finishing is good, their durability is average. Hmm.

    vie been looking at a pair of the vampire tools shears that look almost identical. their pictures had red handles but look like the exact same pair. any idea if this is a knock off of them or did vampire knock of these?

      It’s my understanding that Vampire Tools is an Engineer Inc subsidiary, or they have some sort of direct OEM relationship.

      Some of their tools are exactly the same, but different colors and marketing.
