Snips for long continuous cut

 

— the ability to use scissors in the through cut mode, in other words, the ability to make a cut of any length with a tool. It is achieved due to the fact that the connection point of the halves of the scissors is slightly shifted to the side relative to the cut line — thus, the edges of the cut metal do not rest against the tool and do not prevent it from moving along the sheet of material. Models with this feature are colloquially referred to as "pelicans".
