@soh.maryl FYI. Shears is another word for scissors. Some kinds people may be familiar with are sewing shears, pinking shears, kitchen shears and sheep shears. OK, most people would not have seen sheep shears.
I think they are just words that are usually plural, but sometimes people spell them as singular instead. Something that cuts. That was my take, anyway.

·8 months agoYes, I am aware of what shears are -- another word for "scissors". But I had never heard of a "shear" and the picture didn't offer much of a clue.

·8 months agoThanks again. Personally, I would have never identified the item in the picture as a tool for cutting. It does look interesting though.

I have never seen a moulding shear before and could see how it would save an finish carpenter many hours labor.
