In the Instagram reel by Andrei Emelianov (@andre_lifehack), the vlogger first shows us a way to use the teeth of the scissors (which are typically located along the inner ridges of the handle). He cracks open a walnut with the help of this part. Next, he also manages to open a tightly closed bottle of water as well as one with wine using the scissors' teeth. That's not all. He mentions that their serrations can also be used for holding fishtails in place while cleaning, to prevent them "from slipping out of your hands".
For the next hack, he separates the two blades of his kitchen scissors and utilises one of them to pop off the top of a beer bottle. These single shears can be used to scale fish at home and cut certain vegetables too. There's yet another portion of this toll that you can use around the house: the blade top of the shears. As demonstrated in the video, it can be used to open soda cans and tighten hinges on doors/ cabinets. Watch the complete reel here:
