A manually operable tool for grasping solid objects, the tool comprising: a scissors assembly; first and second handles at opposed ends of the scissors assembly; and first and second opposed paddles, such that objects may be received between the first and second paddles whereupon movement of the first and second handles towards each other causes the first and second paddles to move together to grasp said solid objects therebetween, in which the first paddle has a comb-like structure at a lower region thereof and extending towards the second paddle; each of the first and second paddles has a respective first straight lower edge and a respective second straight edge disposed at an obtuse angle to said first straight edge; and said comb-like structure extends from a region near both of said first and second straight edges of said first paddle to extend beyond both of said first and second straight edges of said second paddle when the tool is in a closed position.
