Rating: Better than the old pair
Reviewer: David Reubush, Thursday, December 29, 2011 - View all my reviews
My wife has been carrying a pair of shears with her on every dive for many years and has used them on a couple of occasions. Unfortunately, the old pair were not stainless, so the rust finally got the best of them. I got these for her for Christmas and I anticipate that they will last for the rest of our diving careers.

Rating: Stainless Steel Underwater Safety Shears Black
Reviewer: Diane K., Tuesday, October 11, 2011 - View all my reviews
Super product for the price! The only bad thing I have to say about these shears is that even after rinsing and drying after every water contact they are showing signs of a little rust, even though they are to be stainess steel. Other than that, the case that they come in is secured with heavy duty velcro and it has a swivel clip to attach anywhere. I have found that they cut through everything so far, from rope to lobster tails.

Rating: Excellent tool for divers uncomfortable carrying a knife
Reviewer: Gary V., Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - View all my reviews
I purchased this for my wife to use while SCUBA diving, since she is uncomfortable with a knife. She doesnt have to worry about stabbing a hole in her BCD. Everyone knows how to use sissors properly for cutting fishing lines or nets and it is great for cutting zip ties. Everyone should have one of these in their dive kit.

Rating: Does the job well
Reviewer: Lee K., Sunday, August 01, 2010 - View all my reviews
Ive only used these shears on one dive, used to cut cable ties holding scientific instrumentation to a mooring weight. Definitely made short work of cutting the zip ties. The area we were diving also has a lot of fishing, mostly trolling with hi-tech braid lines. The security of having shears that can handle braid makes me more confident than diving with a knife.

Rating: Good pair for Shears
Reviewer: Kevin James, Sunday, January 17, 2010 - View all my reviews
These shears seem to good quality and the holster the come in is pretty nice too. The seem to cut every thing you need them too. And easy to use under water then a knife to cut tangled lines. I always carry a knife and a pair of diving shears and for the money you can not say no.

Rating: Great Product
Reviewer: Jody Bullock, Monday, November 16, 2009 - View all my reviews
Great product, especially the holster for the shears, easily attaches to my BCD. Would highly recommend this product. While the shears do not replace a dive knife, they do make cutting out of a entanglement faster and easier.

Rating: Rusted after 4 days of diving in Bonaire
Reviewer: Daniel Ari Mendelson, Saturday, September 12, 2009 - View all my reviews
I am good about washing my equipment down after each dive. My daughter was using this one and I was using one from DiveRite. The DiveRite has over 40 salt water dives on it with just a hint of rust by the center screw. This one began to rust everywhere including the cutting edge by the 3rd day in Bonaire with only about 9 dives on it. I would stick with the DiveRite which was only slightly more expensive. Both are marked Stainless Steel, but the DiveRite seems to have some type of treatment on it.

Rating: You get what you pay for
Reviewer: Mark D., Monday, July 06, 2009 - View all my reviews
Used these shears on week long dive trip. Rusted up right away. Now after a week of diving they will still work, and I have taken action to try and prolong their usefullness, but I dont know how long they will function. Dont get me wrong, for what I payed I feel like I got an OK deal, you just need to know what you are going to get.
