Shear tip of the day #3

Your shears are now clean, oiled & tension adjusted, Now let’s talk about safe storage during use and not when in use. Shear stands are great, keeps them safe and ready to go right on your station, Shear pouches and belted tool bags are another great way to keep them safe and easily available. If you choose to keep them in a drawer use dividers or non-slip mats to keep them from banging around with other items in your drawer every time you open/close the drawer.

Avoid leaving them on your station, especially on a towel or magazine; this is the #1 cause of shears hitting the floor.  We have included pictures of examples of safe, proper storage.
