Whilst inspecting the roof repairs at Moncreiffe House an interesting species has been identified.  Related to the pelican this variation of shears are popular with roofers working with hard metal.

Pelican shears, also known as “Pellys”, are used for long, straight, and clean cuts on copper, zinc, and steel, up to 1.5mm thick.  Their long blades and slight handle offset allow for effortless continuous cutting while keeping the user’s hands away from the material, ensuring efficiency and quality finishes on metal roofing projects.
