Shears

Shears is a tool in Dinkum that can be purchased from Animal Shop Deed. Unlike weapons, which are tied to the Hunting Licence and sold by Ted Selly, Shears belongs to the broader tool category used for non-combat utility equipment.

As with other tools, its availability is tied to a shop source rather than weapon progression. The game separates tools and weapons clearly: tools cover general-purpose equipment such as pickaxes and other utility items, while weapons are reserved for hunting and combat. This makes Shears part of the standard equipment set a player can obtain outside of the hunting system.

For players organizing their early- and mid-game gear, Shears is one of the items to look for when visiting Irwin's Barn. Because it is sold there directly, there is no crafting recipe or licence requirement given for it in the available sources. If you are comparing equipment sources, the distinction is simple: tools are obtained through tool-related shops or crafting, while hunting weapons come from weapon-specific progression and vendors.

• Shears is a tool, not a weapon.
• It is purchased from Irwin's Barn.
• Weapons are separate from tools and are unlocked through the Hunting Licence.
• Ted Selly sells weapons, while John’s Goods is associated with other tool purchases and crafting progression.

The available sources do not provide additional stats, crafting requirements, or durability details for Shears, so its confirmed role is limited to its place as a purchasable tool from Irwin's Barn.
