Seems similar to the Leatherman Squirt series (2.5" multi tool). I remember reading reviews about squeezing them as hard as they can and not breaking. I even did it myself. But something fatigue and eventually they’ll just snap at what you thought was reasonable force. The spring arm on the scissors also snaps on them. They’re discontinued now which is a shame since there’s no direct replacement, but at least the used/damaged market has leveled out to something more reasonable. My xS4 has been part of my edc since 2018. Lost a PS4, broke an ES4 pliers, and now have another PS4 with a scissor spring that broke last year.
