Professional Opinion
The RSC combines a crane handle with a rotating thumb on a sealed ball bearing, two ergonomic ideas in one shear. Molybdenum alloy keeps it light and balanced, and the 5.0 to 7.0 inch size range is one of the widest in the range. Worth a look if wrist comfort drives your buying.
