Gotta get it DIY gifts: Fiskars Shopboss shear work like a boss. Pop the top.

This tool is a go-get-’em cutter for all kinds of DIY work and can take the place of several specialized cutting tools around the house. Like a boss.

Shopboss‘ titanium-coated toothed blades are designed to cut metal, rope, wire mesh, plastic and more. We cut aluminum coil stock, wire lath, and lots of packaging—cardboard, tape, and those horrible plastic blister packs. Shopboss can also shear off a garden hose end or cut through that old carpet for a quick repair.

The tool is also configured to cut and—more handily I think, strip—wire. Replace an electrical device: Done. Re-run coaxial cable: What’s on?

For pros, Shopboss isn’t as efficient as the umpteen specialized shears, snips and cutters we use in the field. I wish the ‘twine cutter’ (who cuts twine?) was a sharper hook for slicing packaging tape on boxes and the handle spring fell out (hold it in with a dab of glue), but if you’re looking for DIY gifts for your Shopboss, Fiskars Shopboss shears work like a boss from the workshop to the craft table to the junk drawer and more.

It even has a bottle opener. Pop the top.
