I had to buy new shears from Cookson recently pretty much like James’s. they have a spring which I don’t particularly like but are so sharp they would cut paper. https://www.cooksongold.com/Jeweller...ars&channel=uk
I’ve never rolled my solder, I did once and then couldn’t judge how much I needed so just cut up the middle of hard solder sometimes 3 times and snip off pallions
