I would recommend rather the scissors with angled blades, which are 
available from most of the European suppliers:





An old colleague of mine, who is now dead and did no bequeath me his 
ancient treasures, had a pair of scissors with the blades angled in 
the other plane and I would dearly love to find a supplier of such 
scissors, which are ideal for damper trimming.

A pair of damper felt squeezing pliers is also desirable.  I have the 
50mm size.
