Scissor Pivot Repair Kit

For years I've wished this kit existed, but it doesn't, so I made one! 

The Scissor Pivot Repair Kit includes the tools and hardware to repair broken scissor pivots making most of them better than new. 

Each kit includes: 
- A drill bit
- A tap for cutting threads
- and 5 sets of screw, nut and washer hardware
- In 3 different sizes: #6, #8 and #10

Here's how it works: 

You have a pair of scissors that should be taken apart for cleaning, sharpening or for adjusting the tension...

The existing pivot is either a rivet or a rusted or peened over screw that is either stripped or stuck...

You can now remove the old pivot without fear of breaking it because you plan to replace it anyway...

You drill out the hole to the next size up using the appropriate drill from this kit...

You tap that hole with the correlating tap...

You shape the screw head and washer from this kit as necessary and insert the screw provided.

Set the tension as you should. 

Cutoff the extra length on the screw with a cutoff wheel on a rotary tool. 

Smooth the cut end on your belt sander.

And now the pivot is better than new!

I'll follow up with a video of the process shortly. 

Oh, and if you don't know me you might not know that I'm totally commited to quality. None of this stuff is off Amazon or Alibaba. My background is in mechanical engineering and I specifed the tools and hardware as I would as if I were a project engineer. 

Tap handle not included but you can find one locally, or if needed, I can provide a link.
