This week's EYE ON NPI is a cut above, it's the Scotch Precision Scissors from 3M (https://www.digikey.com/short/p108w7bd) - a collection of a dozen or so different scissor models all stocked and available from Digi-Key.
Normally we tend to cover electronics tools and parts on EYE ON NPI - chips, modules, antennas, components...so why are we talking about scissors? Because nothing ruins your day like BAD SCISSORS! You know what we're talking about, not sharp enough so that stuff has a raggedy edge. Or easily nicked so cutting isn't smooth and you get that annoying clicking effect as you're trying to get an elegant curve going?
The solution is easy! Add a pair or two of Scotch Precision Scissors (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/3/3m/scotch-precision-scissors) to your cart so next time you check out you get a gift for yourself, a fancy new pair that will bring joy.
We use our nice pair of scissors all the time to cut open Digi-Key sealed bags, trim foam tape, cut conductive copper sheets and labels. And if you have a partner who has their own fancy pair for cutting fabric you will no longer end up making them sad when you borrow their pair (https://www.ctpub.com/blog/by-the-yard-cutting-paper-with-fabric-scissors-explained/) - or if you did already muss up their favorite set, you can now bribe them back into your good favor with a scissor-based peacekeeping gift.
There's about 10 different types available, from kid's crafting scissors to multi-purpose to precision types (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/3/3m/scotch-precision-scissors) so be sure to peek through all the versions. 3M Scotch Precision Scissors are in stock right now for immediate shipment from Digi-Key (https://www.digikey.com/short/p108w7bd) - order today and you'll have them literally in your hands by tomorrow morning.
While you're waiting for that package to arrive, check out 3M's cool 'science at home' series (https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/gives-us/education/science-at-home/science-experiments-for-kids/). They're a great set of easy-to-build projects that use common crafting materials that you can do together with kids to pique their STEM curiosity.
