∙ 10y agoThe MA for scissors or tin snips is the length of the handle divided by the length of the blade. The MA for snips needs to be large because this tool is used to cut hard materials. The MA for the shears can be lower because paper is easier to cut and can be cut quickly.

Is tin a metal non metal or metalloid?
Tin has two forms (allotropes) one is "white tin" (beta-tin) which is a metal although some chemists/metrial scientists would call it a "poor metal"- and "grey tin" (alpha-tin), a low temperature form, which has a similar structure to diamond and more covalent in character. So one allotrope is a metal and the other isn't. Probably the answer a school teacher expects is tin is metal.

How are offset hair thinning shears different from regular hair thinning shears besides looks?
You can visit http://www.scissorsforsale.com for answers. Shears4Hair says: OFFSET Hair Shears and "regular" or "EVEN" Handled Hair shears are different in not only looks but in comfort. Most styles of shears manufactured now are an offset design. The Even handled design (regular as you called them) is classic. Older or more experienced hairstylist will often cut with the EVEN handled shears because they are used to them. OFFSET Shears have handles that are just that, offset. The way in which the finger holes do not line up makes them OFFSET. At one point it was thought that the OFFSET handled design was more ergonomic for professional hairstylist, barbers, and professional pet groomers. But, that isn't the case. Most Physical Therapist recommend that a haircutting professional use a variety of types of haircutting shears to avoid the repetitive motion diseases of the fingers, hands, and wrists. By using shears with different kinds of handles, you avoid the same repetitive motions and hopefully this will keep your fingers, hands, and wrists healthy throughout your career! :) OFFSET shears are usually more comfortable. But, comfort is the in the eye of the beholder. Just like a hard pillow is great for some, it may be awful to others. Most cosmotology, barber and professional pet grooming schools are issuing OFFSET Shears in their student kits so for younger hair cutting professionals, OFFSET shears are what they look for when purchasing new shears. It is good to have a wide variety of different hair cutting shears in your arsenal, Even handled shears, Offset handled shears, Swivel thumb shears, and crane handled shears are just some of your options.
