Precision Stainless Steel Thrum Scissors (Assorted Color)

Pros: For the money spent, these are great. They are a little bigger than I thought, though I really didn't look at the measurements. This is a sturdy pair of scissors, and I think will hold up very well for years and years of use. They are spring loaded, and open is the at-rest position for these. They are very pointed at the tips, and cut very well.

Cons: The case, while appreciated, is very flimsy, and would do nothing to protect someone from harm (those sharp tips!) if mishandled while in the case. I'm going to have to come up with some sort of tube or hose to slip them into after compressing them.

Other: Great pair of scissors, VERY sturdy build quality, a bargain for the price paid.

Pros: Better quality than sku.21946, which corrodes more easily, and albeit dimensions of both are very similar, this one feels more sturdy and heavier, and the blades are broader. Very sharp blade, pointed tip. Goes through all reasonably cuttable materials, like paper, string, plastic foil, leaves, fabric, herb stems, candle wicks easily. Very good for applications, requiring frequently picking up and putting down the scissors, as picking up, positioning and cutting, putting down can be done in one sweeping motion, no need to thread fingers through handles, as with conventional scissors, first.

Cons: 50% more expensive than sku.21946. Blades are open in resting position. Store scissors where you can see them for grabbing, as blades are quite sharp and pointy. The plastic sleeve they come in isn't of much use besides protecting other items from the grease on the scissors - they are well oiled. Wipe them before use, then you'll probably want to trash the sleeve. No leverage. Thicker or more sturdy materials - those requiring more force to cut - may be cut more easily with conventional scissors.

Other: The more I get, the more people want them. Now also the lady at my baker's got one, as does my ex-associates ex-girlfriend's mother, and my childhood flame who I haven't seen for about 30 years wanted three. DX delivered those rapidly, so I could pass them on, at which occasion we discovered that we share our liking of bicycle touring and campfire dough-on-a-stick :) I definitely need to order more scissors.

Pros: Beautiful smooth operation. Excellent control for delicate cutting operations. Consistent quality - I've ordered 6 now and they've all been perfect. Stainless blades won't rust. Easier to quickly pick up and use with one hand than regular scissors.

Cons: Not suitable for small children due to the sharp cutting edges, pointed tips and the fact that they are open by default! Plastic pouch they come in is flimsy and fairly useless. Need to wipe oil off before using on paper or cloth (only need to do this once, the first time you use them).

Other: These are excellent value for such a well-made and useful little gadget.

Pros: Decent build quality. Not recommended for rocket surgery, but plenty good enough for kitchen, desk, and sewing scissors. These scissors are a steal at this price. Sharp as hell. Nicely designed. The spring action forcing the blades together means that you will never have a gap between the blades at the point where they meet at the cutting edge. This might also add some self-sharpening behavior.

Cons: Default open state means higher likelihood of drawing blood. Not for infants.

Other: There's no reason not to have these in your house.

Pros: These are small, sharp, easy to handle (I have big hands).

Cons: No choice of colors. Between two different purchases I received 3 pink and one gray. No big deal if, like me, you didn't buy them to decorate your home.

Other: How could you go wrong for the price? Go ahead and get them. You will be the envy of all your friends.

Pros: These stainless stell cutters are way better than scissors - and much easier to use. You just squeeze and do not have to inset your fingers into the scissor handles so it saves lots of time. Well made - I love them.

Cons: none

Other: I saw these in a Jewelry supply house online for over $7 a pice plus shipping. You cannot beat the price at DX. Buy several and leave one in the kitchn, one in the sewing box and use one for cutting the tags off clothing and one for your hobbies. They are sharp and very pointy - not good for young kids.

Pros: They are very well built and extremely sharp. They are excellent in a toolbox or a box of fishing gear (I bought it just for that).
Elas são muito bem construídas e extremamente afiadas. São excelentes em uma caixa de ferramentas ou em uma caixa de equipamentos de pesca (eu as comprei exatamente para isso).

Cons: They came with a little oil.
Elas vieram com um pouco de óleo.

Other: An excellent purchase to complete the US$ 20.00 needed to send with registration.
Uma excelente compra para completar os 20 dólares necessários para envio com registro.

Pros: As the title suggests, these are a brilliant pair of sharp precision cutters. Why they are painted pink is a complete mystery. Come well protected with lube. Spring feels good, not too springy and not to limp.

Cons: PINK PINK PINK. Unfortunately there is no chance to specify the colour you receive so its luck of the draw on colours. Who cares though!

Other: Great snippers, AWFUL that you can't choose the colour or that they even produce them in pink! Maybe too small for some jobs but for precise cutting nothing comes close.

Pros: Boy.. this is really sharped! I got a dark orange/mostard colored one which is not bad (much better than a pink one) It is sturdy and looks like it can long forever...

Cons: Nothing... it does what supposed. The only thing is that I prefer black colored instead of mostard.

Other: $1.78 !!! At first glimpse I though that was an error. Oh, yes... becareful to not drop it as it can make a hole on your foot.

Pros: Sharp and precise, and I gotta admit they make a nice sound when they're in use.

Cons: I thought it was going to be much bigger, however I'm still able to cut heat-shrink tubing and other materials without a problem.
Also: It's pink, but at least it's not a bright pink, just a pale one... Who am I kidding it's pink, but since it's so useful it doesn't matter.

Other: Buy more than one, you'll soon find a use for them. They look and feel rather sturdy, for what they are.
