Floor Scissors?
Friday we saw a yard sale that looked liked they had a lot of tools. So, of course, we had to stop! And look what we found for $5 bucks!! Weed cutters! David expects they are from the 50's or 60's. What a great invention! They are surprisingly easy to squeeze and very sharp! Cuts weeds like butter!! I call them my floor scissors! Cool huh?
