ABSTRACT:
A pair of folding hand shears comprising first and second generally channel-shaped handles each having first and second ends, each generally channel-shaped handle having an open side and an at least partly closed side opposite the open side, the at least partly closed sides comprising shear-receiving openings. The folding hand shears also include first and second shear halves pivotally mounted to each other, with the shear halves being pivotally mounted between flanges at the first ends of the handles. Control straps extend between the flanges for limiting the maximum pivotal movement of the shear halves and for frictionally resisting pivotal movement of the shear halves. The folding hand shears are foldable between a closed, compact configuration and an opened, extended configuration for cutting with the shears and in the opened, extended configuration the open sides of the handles face each other. A plurality of additional tools are pivotally mounted to the handles.
