Hasta La Ideas

like the design of this simple Dual Cutter, by tool manufacturer True. Rather than being a 16-function multitool with 15 half-assed functions, this one does just two things well: It provides a cutting blade, and a pair of scissors with a full-size handle that flips out.

The scissor blades are serrated and 1.5″ long, so you’re not going to be cutting dress patterns with it; but if you’re working outside with a lot of cording, zip-ties or similar, I could see this tool coming in very handy, and I like the ergonomics of it.

The Dual Cutter runs $30.
