I am looking for a pair of Diamond shears... most of them do not work for me. I have small hands and I just can not even open them enough.

wrap & stich an old pair of kevlar sleeves around the outside grips, thus ruducing the amount you have to open your hand....

Thu, December 22, 2005 - 1:19 PMI have small hands too, but i've just gotten used to opening the sheers differently. i put only my thumb and index finger on the inside of the grips and my other three go in between, until i need to close them all the way, then they go back inside the grips with my index. this takes a little getting used too, but does allow for greater expansion. hope this helps! good luck!
