OK. I am in retirement. But also in daily use for my children's projects and my wife's HoneyDoList. These scissors are amazing. I haven't had to use the lifetime guarantee yet, but if the company keeps their word. this is a good buy. There's a bit of a learning curve for beginners, but I'll be buying a jump boot from now on. I have 3 work bags (if you want). One in the garage, one on the porch, and one hanging on a string under my desk. All my bags are from different manufacturers because I test them. This is the best I've found for everyday use.
