I find it difficult to see other people's good grades. First of all, I believe my scissors were previously returned. When I tried to attach the handle. I found that the screw holes didn't line up, so I was only able to install one screw. I can live with that. I bought these scissors to cut thin (0.003 inch) stainless steel. You won't. Upon closer inspection, I found that the stationary blade was tilted (if that's the right word). because the screw holes in the base were about 3/16" deeper than they should have been, and the blade was tightened at a slight angle. Enlarging 3 holes allowed the blade to be properly tightened. After these modifications, the shears now cut clean through the stock in .003 SS.
