Attics and basements always collect the weirdest problems.

Seriously, calling homemade shears a waste? That's just wrong. In my experience, tools you make yourself always work better for your hands. Store-bought ones are built for a general idea of a user, not for you specifically. Customizing lets you adjust the balance or the grip in a way that feels natural. That kind of control changes how you work, making everything smoother. People who mock it likely never felt the difference a perfect tool makes.

Seriously, this proves my point that expensive tools often fix nonexistent problems.
