Their orange handles make them easy to identify, and also feature a rubber grip that allows you to maintain maximum control while you cut.

These rubber handles, combined with the manageable 7.6-ounce weight, make this set comfortable to use for those all-day projects. While the six-inch length is convenient for transport and storage, this set is also available in a larger size for more heavy-duty tasks.
