I just released my July 4th video on my YouTube channel. You can view it here if here. In the video you will see Larry, He recently obtained his ATF fireworks license to purchase 1.3 fireworks. I added him on the display, I am hoping to see him again at my annual sportsman club shoot in August. These small town fireworks displays are lots of fun.

Awesome im ready to be your next man in line to help you with a show lol Btw just curious when you cut in to black match with a metal scissor can that cause a potential spark ? or very unlikely.... Im sure you would be doing it if it was that risky. Just wondering

[Adam PA Artist]

Did you get them at a particular place? Are they a particular brand? PM me if you don't mind, please. :)

[Adam PA Artist]

Thanks for the response SCPryo thats kinda what i figured

[Adam PA Artist]

Oh ok nice

I believe instead of traditional scissor they are talking about Anvil Cutters. You can probably purchase these at Sears Hardware stores.

Pain in the ass to use, and you can not do a fine insert cut.

dave mine work just fine n dandy . i got them in the garden section at the big orange-themed home improvement store .
i also have an xacto knife type device for backup .

[PGH_Pyro]

i just checked the make of mine. they're Fiskars brand and not exactly anvil cutters per se but rather, a pruning shear/cutter but they do same thing as anvil cutters. just not as long of blades . 610

In the end of the video, it sounds like an air raid siren.

Awesome vid Dave! Looking forward to the day I get to help out on a pro display

[Adam PA Artist]

Oh ok nice well if there that much a pain in da ass i might take em apart and try to modify them... Take the blades off the Anvils and try and insert or connect them to a regular scissor. Ahh forget it seems like too much work tho ill just do like Dave would and Edward scissor hands with the regulars scissors. haha

The best way to go, in my opinion, is Klein electrician scissors. They're around $15-25 a pair, and they work wonderfully.

No doubt about it!

Klein electrician scissors are steel and I see no indication they are non sparking.
Ampco makes scissors specifically designed to be non-sparking: http://www.amazon.com/Cutting-Shears-Style-Len-0-14lb/dp/B0007WXLO8/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1405813084&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=ampco+safety+scissors
And you will pay!

For a utility knife the Gerber EAB Lite is superb. http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-31-000345-E-A-B-Pocket-Knife/dp/B002RILCLY/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1405813322&sr=1-1&keywords=gerber+eab+lite
It's always razor sharp as long as you put in a fresh blade. I use Irwin blades for this. Cut fuse, slit quick match, for any cutting use at all it is the best. You never have a dull blade because you didn't sharpen it, like a permanent blade knife. Channellock wire cutters are great for a non sparking cutter.

A friend in the business mentioned that the Channellock product can build up black powder in the joint and suggested to not really use them. So I am retracting that and suggesting to just use anvil cutters.

Sweet show, nice job
