ACME? Are they made by Wilie Coyote? lol

All kidding aside that is good to know, thanks for the tip.
 
offroaddiver:
finally found a website that shows what i've dove with for a couple of years now. No corrosion what so ever. Still as sharp as when i bought them. Titanium plated EMT snips.

These are great. I made a sheath for them and they've been with me ever since.
I have always found the rivet to be the archilles tendon of EMT shears. I have had several shears fall apart due to this rivet rusting out. How is yours holding up? Does the rivet rust or is it titanium coated as well ?
 
as far as i can tell the rivet is stainless. but i put some fishing reel grease on it so no worries. The only down fall is price but I know people who have gone through emt shears at $1 a pop and i've still got these.

let me edit here...
These may be the ones i bought. I am not sure as I've had the ones i've got for a few years. I do have a set on order and will tell everyone if they are the same once i get them in.
