If you're looking for very specific poultry shears, these are a great option. Durable and efficient, you won't be disappointed with this pair of shears!
I don't do a lot of chicken boning but sometimes I buy the wings that need to be separated. These work fine for easy separating, they store easily with a locking clip for safety. my old ones just didnt cut anymore so these were a simple inexpensive replacement and they have worked well for about 6 months. Sorry to hear about the other reviews but I've been very happy.
One use of these shears and I realized they were a bad purchase. Won’t even cut paper. Replaced with OXO.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am not one to write poor reviews. Been looking for a poultry shears for ages. Thought this would be the one. I have not gotten these to cut one thing for me. Is it me? I am so disappointed and frustrated. Bought a competitor brand and that one works just fine....

We've owned our shears for 6 years. No problems until this month 2/2018, when the spring inside broke. They appear to be good construction, EXCEPT for the spring. For as infrequently as we used the shears, you would have thought they would last longer.
I upgraded to this product as a replacement for another brand. The second time I used them the blade sniped at the hinge. I will send them back for warranty. It was not an old chicken.
