Fiskars Crafts 190950 1001 RazorEdge Action Review

I bought these because the reviews and description showed they would be good for my arthritic hands. No way! When I try to apply pressure to close them, it hurts. Spring loaded is not good. Gave them back.

The scissors close with great resistance, but then open. I tried lubricating the joint a couple of times, it didn't help. I wanted to give them to my husband because he is stronger but he didn't like them either! I have other spring loaded Fiskars that run much smoother.

This is now my second set of these scissors. Both seem to have broken ends? I was expecting them to have pointy ends as shown in the picture on the packaging and in the product description.

I thought that the action of the spring might slow down the cutting, but it doesn't. The cut is very sharp and takes no more time than ordinary scissors. And since the thumb and fingers are not in the usual…
