Mr DIY Pruning Shear

*Snip* *Snip* *Snippp*
That is what I do every couple of weeks - harvesting my garden.

My old pruning scissors is about 10 years old; not so sharp anymore - time to retire..
I recently got a new pair from my trip to Mr DIY.


Gotta love the price. At RM5.50 it does a fantastic job at snipping stalks.
Very clean cut, with sturdy grip.
Does not squeak and comes with safety lock.

Great buy!

I had a 5 mins panic episode when I tried to remove some hangings from the door (wood finish).
The double sided tape was very old, and wouldn't come off! And scraping with a knife was useless. Yikes! And I needed to hang some stuff up for my wedding! Yikes yikes yikes!

Fortunately there was the Internet. And Google. :)

WD-40 works!!
Just soak the area with it, and after a mo, wipe it off. No marks on my door!
Hehe.. after that, clean off the area with wet cloth. :D

Thank God for the Internet!

*another forumer suggested heating with a hair dryer instead.
I've not tried this, because WD-40 worked!
