Unusual screws seen at IBS

I took photos of two unusual screws at the recent IBS and thought I'd share them.






This is a Rusk Beta Blade. The top screw looks like a regular screw and the back looks like a UFO screw. Take this apart by using the Wolff Scissor Pliers with a regular bit then come up through the hole in the bottom with a spanner bit on a screwdriver.







This is the Spring Hopper. Remove the screw to reveal a spring washer. Once apart you will see the spring in the recess. This spring will pop off and fly across the room if you are not careful. This is easy to assemble and take apart as long as you put the spring back where it came from.

Special thanks to Ted Powell of Guin, AL in discovering these shears among his sharpening at the New York IBS show.
