Fiskars with the gears.

Been using my pair for 7 years and just keep em lubed, sharp, and don't try to hack down whole dam trees like my old man keeps breaking his attempting

My old man doesn't even have Facebook, let alone reddit.

But for some reason he has Tik Tok to watch Amish barn building and Japanese Nail less carpentry videos

If I were ever going to get tik tok it would be for those very same reasons.

There's also hunting and fishing stuff on there. Oh and this dude who destroys rich peoples landscaping because it covers up fire hydrants. It's a thing of beauty.

And don't even get me started on the thicc goth women in fishnets.

Tell me about Japanese carpentry, and tell me slow. Also, do they blur out the nail less parts?

They do not.

So basically everything is done using old school pressure and tension joints. There's this guy on there who's basically building a whole house like that. Does it all in silence so all you hear is his hammers and breathing

I’ve got the Fiskers titanium things. With the gears. I’ve been treating them like shit for about 12-15 years and they still operate at about 95%.

Do you mean these? I'd like to get a pair for my husband for Christmas and want to get the right ones.

Those look a little more technical than I'm used to. Do they not make the ones with just gears anymore? I can't find em online.
