Engineer PH-55 Combination Scissors

The Engineer PH-55 Combination Scissors GT are precision-built cutters made for gearheads, tech tinkerers, and field fixers. These aren't your desk scissors—think cable-cutting, wire-stripping, bolt-slicing multitaskers wrapped in compact, Japanese-engineered steel. If your kit includes electronics, paracord, or anything that occasionally needs snipping, these earn a spot.

In hand, they feel surgical. Sharp, smooth, and built for control. But what sets them apart is how much they can do in such a small footprint—cut, strip, crimp, pry. Pocket-sized problem solvers that hit way above their weight.

  • Made in Japan—tight tolerances, no play, smooth action.

Cons

  • Not rust-proof—needs a wipe and care if you’re running it outdoors often.
  • Smaller grip may not be ideal for large hands in gloves.

Final Thoughts

The PH-55 Combination Scissors GT are the kind of tool that disappears into your kit until you really need them—then they shine.
