Particularly, I imagine, when it's a field inspection, checking for loose threads on underwear in use at the time of inspection.
Perhaps some of the Victoria's Secrets models could use some help. Maybe a field test is in order to see how well they work. :)

I believe yours are jeweler's snips for cutting light sheet metal. Similar ones are shown in the 1899 Otto Young jeweler's tools reprint if you have that one.

Thanks , I never would have guessed that. It did come with some small jewelers pliers that Bob now owns.
I somewhat suspect a pair of nail clippers missing a spring, rather than thread cutters tho...
