This is my favorite trimming scissors I've tried in the market but I have big hands and I think that's the main thing. I see other reviews giving very low ratings and I believe a lot may have to do with hand size and strength. The nib is light on the scissors but the frame in your hand is large so people with small hands like my wife don't seem to like them. I would say if you have big hands it's worth a try and if you have small hands it might not be the ideal choice for you.
