Will these cut through the claws of a 6 or 7 pound hardshell (not one that has recently molted) lobster?

I don't work will 6 lb lobsters. Usually 3 lb at the most but they will cut through that. i mostly use mine for the tail and knuckle but whak open the claw with my knife so I'm not sure how they will hold up for claws. I've been using them for a while now. Not sure how long really but they are the best I've found.

I use these shears with very hard shell lobster tails and claws, and king crab claws. I have had no problem. The blades are sharp and strong. I haven't needed a mallet since I started using the shears. The shears cut through cooked and uncooked shells. I hoped that helped.

We have used them on 2 lb Atlantic lobster, both Snow Crab and Alaskan King Crab, worked very well.

It would shoot a staple through them I am sure, but it would be a small gauge fastener. I don't believe it would be quite the same strength and holding power as a nail. I'm not an engineer, just an opinion.

They should be fine. Be careful , they are sharp on both sides of the blade. Very good broadhead.

I would think so, it readily cut through 3" brazillian cherry, but I never tried crustacean-based projects with this saw

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work. Thanks, Aaron

they are made to withstand the prick of a knife, I would think they could stave off the fish.just be aware of the smell otf the glove

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

These will cut right through standard nails. they will not cut hardened steel nails or screws. You can expect the blade to be dull after a dozen or so nails.

Yes, but probably not on all of them. I put a wicked edge on my Gerber Parang and also on one of my smaller inexpensive hatchets... but if it is too large or thick, probably not a good idea. But Hey.... what do I know? I use a stone on my axe and large hatchet, but I'll bet it would work.** please see my comment **I wouldn't use anything particularly large or heavy if you want this tool to last. No replacement elements available from Smiths.

No way. They have fiberglass reinforcement (look closely and you can see it) so cutting them would expose the fiberglass fabric, and maybe also lead to deterioration.

I have used this punch set to cut 31cal to 50cal flintlock rifle wads and patches in such materials as .015 pillow ticking, cloth, cork, leather, felt, soft craft rubber, card board, fiber board with out any problems. Use old magazine as a cutting board and hard rubber hammer so not to to damage punches. Have cut hundreds of wads and patches and only had to lightly go over the punches with a mill basted file nothing stays sharp for ever. You be the judge.

It works great! I've used shears, besides cutting lobster and crabs, for other bones, types and sizes. This shears are one of best on the market. You should get one. Cheers, Simo

As far as I can tell, just by looking at them, no. However, I don't think it would be too hard to cut through them if you wanted to permanently remove them.

I just used 5/8" brad nail by accident and they worked fine. I didn't even realize it till after. I only used about 8 though. I would still like to see what Wen says.

These will easily slice Jello since they ARE meant for vegetable cutting. They will not cut skin easily at all though and as seen in the picture the shape stops halfway through the cutter so make sure to make the Jello thinner than one inch

Yes, they will cut nails, but, you need to go slow to not overhead the blade. Once the blade is hot and you continue to cut, it will dull quickly. Cuting nails is difficult and will still dull the blade quickly, even going slow and easy. Forget cutting stainless nails such as ones found to install foam for stucco. To cut many nails and if possible, I will use a sawz-all with the proper metal cutting blade as it will cut better, quicker, less dulling of the blade and the blades are less expensive to replace.

I've thrown them for a while now, and I've never been cut by them, but I would imagine they are sharp enough to cut your hand, but that would depend on how you throw them (I use the pinch grip, so there isn't really much of a risk of me cutting my hands).
