Great little gadget! I've been cutting strips of leather with regular scissors and expensive sewing scissors for a while now and both take sooo long. I was able to cut a full meter of material in less time than before to cut 4 strips! I had a few of these a few years ago but they weren't chargeable. If I can figure out what's wrong with the other pair and fix them, I have 2 Paris! Worth the money if you have a lot to cut. It eases your hands when you have arthritis or other problems.
