Worthy Scissor Addition
on August 14, 2023
Posted by: COURTNEY R.
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. And by the way I also have a pair of scissors made by Wescott which are cracking near the screw. So paying more does not guarantee quality.

I never thought I'd review scissors but these make precise cuts are not heavy do not 'chop'. Nice product.

I love these scissors. From cutting poster board coupons thank you to opening packages these scissors have performed well without dolling. I have been able to use these scissors since I got them and have not needed to sharpen. They are as sharp as they are the day I open the package. I would highly recommend these scissors

This is a nice high-quality pair of scissors and not the cheap plastic variety that I see in so many offices. So far I have used the scissors for paper and plastic and the cut is great.

The TRU Red Scissors were sharp and precise right out of the packaging. It is the perfect size to keep in a home office or kitchen to open packages cut out pieces from paper or cardstock.

1st impression - thought these would be my new go-to scissors. If a scissor could be beautiful this is one of them - I love the dark metal for the blades something different and I love that! Handle -- loved that the light grey was grippy...I can be clumsy and being able to hold onto them securely made me feel safe. Plus they never dug into my hands and sometimes I can have quite a grip on my scissors! Size - great size for me - I cut paper and opened boxes with them and had no issues as far as size. Improvement - the biggest complaint I had on these - I had difficulty slicing cardboard boxes open with them.Where I had difficulty was at the very start of opening up boxes. The blades themselves are sharp but I think because the blades have a blunted tip it doesn't quite pierce the tape like my other titanium scissors do. Once I got the tape pierced the scissors were very sharp. I think these are perfect for general office or school usage but if you tend to open a lot of boxes with scissors - may not be the best usage for these guys. I will use my others for box opening just so I don't damage the contents but for general paper usage - these will come in handy!
