Instead of using a roofer's hammer and slater's stake, slates can also be cut to size with these slate shears. These are scissors with a flat lower jaw that slopes downwards and in which there is a rectangular recess in which the upper jaw fits. The slate is placed on the lower jaw and when closing the scissors, a piece of the slate is cut off. In this way, one can continue to cut along the same line to remove a complete piece of the slate. Often there is a protrusion on one of the arms that prevents the hand from sliding forward when cutting. There are also fixed models with a sharp protrusion that can be hammered into the roof boarding. [MOT]

With a salmon picker you can easily scoop up and serve fish fillets. It is an elongated (approx. 25 cm), fork-shaped plastic hand tool with a straight handle. The two jaws are very close to each other, so that just a thin fish fillet can fit in between. One jaw is flat with a pointed end; the other is slightly shorter, round and also with a narrower end. The flat jaw is slid under the fish, which is now stuck between both jaws and can be served as such. It can be removed from the salmon picker with a fork. [MOT]
