Default Wiss M3 shears

With the yellow rubber handle.

Had 'em for 15-20 years. Mighta averaged 10 min. lite-duty use per year.

Tried to cut some plumbers strap-tape the other day, the 2 blades
separated, wouldn't cut.

Tried tightening the bolt: no hep'.


So now they won't cut the tape, or they won't cut other things either?

There are things it won't cut, but if it cuts the stuff it used to,
it's fine.

Blades are not sharp, but they're not incredably dull either.

Should I go after the blades with a whetstone or what?


The jaws are never very sharp iirc.

Thx,
