If you might need to break up a carcass to fit into a pot to make stock. The middle of the scissors provides a good way to crack through the material – even if it is unnerving to think about.

On that note, one Redditor added: “Also, they are great for cracking lobster claws.”

Some surprising uses
After hearing that the grips could be used to remove the tops from boiled eggs, one person commented: “What the f**k!?!? You have changed my life!!”

Another person recommended the tool as a ‘garlic crusher’, while a third suggested it could be used to ‘cut metal wire’.
