I don't make a broom without using these 6 inch trimmers - they are much better than a pair of scissors!  They allow me to get a very close/flush when trimming the final piece of cording that is tucked under your wrap, fiber trim for both the sweep and the top of your broom, trimming the stalk of craft broomcorn at the end of your weave on a cobwebber broom, thin wire, leather hang-ties - they work great for most applications!  Try them - you won't be sorry!
