Harbor Freight shears

Yea, y'all can have your poultry shears. These suckers whooped the backbone out of this turkey like it wasn't even there. You can keep them on an upward angle enough to keep your hand out of the cavity and they work fine. This bird was even partially frozen when I fabricated it.

Don't ya just love it when a tool not meant for a job works better than the ones designed to do the job?

Exactly . I did metal stud and drywall construction for 30 years . I do all kinds of things with right handed snips .

Cleaning ... pop spring out from between handles, remove nut holding blades together, sanitize and reassemble. Easy peasy! Best pair of shears I ever took to a turkey, and I have done a lot of spatchcock turkey.

I’m a fan of shears for processing game birds but for spatchcocking I just whip out grandma’s old cleaver. But I get it, whatever works
