Review on Scotch Precision Scissors 3 Pack 1458 3AMZ by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good everyday scissors for the home, but read on.

Just have reasonable expectations and most likely you will be delighted. They're probably not very useful for the fabric; but they work fantastic on paper, light to medium weight cardstock, light plastic, tape, wrapping paper, etc. It's nice to have a color-coded set because you can scatter it around the house, giving you a better chance of keeping track of where it is (or should be). They work smoothly, cut paper products well. One person asked after washing in the dishwasher: I would never do that. If you find you need to clean them, use Windex and a cloth. A drop of oil on a joint can help over time. Also - and this is a "trick" people are sometimes unaware of - if your scissors dull over time, examine the blades closely before blaming the scissors. If you've used them repeatedly to cut packaging tape, the adhesive can slowly migrate from the tape to the blades and they won't cut either. This means it's time to clean them. Hot water helps, along with a cloth, even an old electric toothbrush head plugged into your electric toothbrush can bring it back to life and restore most of its sharpness. (You'll notice the build-up of "gluing" mostly when you're cutting wrapping paper, and trying to make a clean "row" of cuts: if they don't do it well, you probably have blade buildup. That So is the best scissors in the world?Certainly not.If you need one, especially for cutting hair, go straight to the Solingen brand (Ergo Silver Star hair scissors, 5.625 inch, hollow ground, ice-hardened stainless steel, Made in Solingen, Germany) and you see what a REAL pair of scissors can be.But for general household use, from paper to opening boxes, wrapping gifts and sealing boxes with mailer tape, you can't get any better than these.Price is rightYou get three of these , they are color coded, comfortable and decent quality Have reasonable expectations and buy the type of scissors you need and you will probably be perfect be satisfied.
