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.
The Staples scissors are a cutting-edge tool in my crafting arsenal. Their sharp blades effortlessly slice through various materials while the ergonomic grip ensures comfort during extended use. An essential addition to any workspace these scissors are a cut above the rest.
This was actually my second pair of these scissors! I have a pair at home and at the office. I was pleased to get another pair of these as they are a well-built solid product. These are my go-to scissors on a daily basis and have not disappointed.
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!
The TRU Red Scissors are sturdy and well-made. These non-stick titanium scissors from the Business Essentials collection are strong and durable. I found them very helpful because of the straight blade which allows for more precision cuts. They are ergonomic for right-handed people and the handle is comfortable but on the smaller size. I am a 5ft female and my hand fit perfectly while my husband is 5ft 9in and he felt that it was a tight fit. However the scissors were usable for both of us providing smooth cuts. It is also on the heavier side but I think that is because of the titanium non-stick feature so this is a trade-off. The heaviness of the blade allows for slow and methodical cutting which I truly appreciate. I give 4-stars because of the smaller handle and the weight but other than that I find these to be a nice edition to my desk.
