Silky smooth blades with their titanium steel coating. Slick coating gives the sharp blades a smooth feel and great performance. Comfortable handle that contains the blades and offers a compact size.
The TRU Red Scissors are perfect for the office or the hobby room. The handles are soft and have an ergonomic that allows for greater control. The non-stick coating prevents that pesky build up of adhesive when using to wrap gifts or trim labels. The straight blades help even the most challenged user cut straight lines and edges. My only is a small one as I prefer more of a point to the blades but overall this pair of scissors is a useful addition to your home or office.
While these scissors are very sharp and cut through paper without resistance I found the short blades to be prohibitive in the usefulness of the product. I had major frustrations just trying to do everyday cutting because of the length of the blade. Maybe I could get use to having to cut more but I think a longer blade is so much easier to use.
I have always worked with top quality scissors because they make the job easier and safer. I tend to prefer 8” scissors because the cutting area is about 3.5”. With these 7” scissors you can cut only 2”. The scissors were packaged beautifully. The scissors were somewhat stiff upon initial use. They may loosen up over time. I found that only two fingers fit comfortably in the handle so it would be nice to have a finger rest built into that side. The blades are riveted rather than assembled with a screw. The screw would be preferable so that the blades can be adjusted. They cut well with descent leverage. These would be a good purchase for someone with smaller hands looking for budget scissors.
This is a quality pair of scissors. The ergonomic handle is comfortable and the blade design allows for a reliable cut time after time. This is a true value purchase when you consider the durability relative to price.
