More life from sanding sticks

[hedotwo]

It's probably been mentioned here before, but if you're like me and use Flex-I-File sanding sticks (or other brands sponge-based sticks) the ends can get worn before the remainder of the sticks.  I found that the Stanley Fatmax snips work the best to cutoff just what's worn and leave a nice sharp edge.  Not saying Stanley is the only brand that will work, but I have other "cheapie" snips and they don't leave a sharp edge.  I've never had luck with any scissors that I have around here either.  The example I show isn't really worn too much but you get the idea ?

I’ve always been a Wiss man myself...(retired sheet metal worker here).? I have cut my home made popsicle stick ones with a hobby knife, but it ain’t easy. Pruning shears would probably work well
