FAQs

What is the main purpose of thinning scissors?

Thinning scissors are used to remove bulk from a coat, soften hard lines, and create a more natural, blended finish after primary scissoring.

How do I know if the tension is set correctly?

The scissors should glide smoothly when opened and closed. When cutting hair, they should cut cleanly without snagging. You should be able to cut a test strand with moderate effort. Adjust until you find a comfortable and effective cutting action.

Can these scissors be used on all coat types?

These scissors are generally suitable for most coat types. However, for very dense or matted coats, it's recommended to de-mat and thin gradually to avoid excessive pulling.

How often should I oil my thinning scissors?

It is recommended to oil your thinning scissors at least weekly, or more often if used daily, to maintain their performance and prevent rust.

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed groomers?

No, the Groomers Simply G 6.5" Thinning Scissors are designed for right-handed use. A left-handed version is available separately.

What maintenance is required for the ball bearing screw?

The ball bearing screw helps maintain smooth operation. Ensure it is kept clean and lubricated with scissor oil regularly. Adjust tension as needed using the provided key.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel too tight or stiff to cut smoothly.

The tension is likely too high. Use the included tension key to slightly loosen the screw by turning it counter-clockwise.

Scissors are pulling or snagging the hair.

Check the tension; it might be too loose. Tighten the screw slightly clockwise. Ensure the blades are clean and properly aligned. If the issue persists, the blades may need professional sharpening.

Uneven thinning or blending.

Ensure you are using consistent strokes and angles. Practice on less visible areas first. Verify the scissor tension is set correctly for your desired cutting action.

Rust or corrosion on the blades.

Wipe blades immediately after use and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry environment. Light rust can sometimes be removed with a fine-grit whetstone or a professional cleaning and re-oiling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficiently thins and blends coats for a natural look.
  • Durable recycled stainless steel construction for long-lasting use.
  • Ergonomic design enhances comfort and control for the groomer.
  • Adjustable tension allows for personalized cutting performance.
  • Suitable for both experienced professionals and learners.

Cons

  • Requires practice to master thinning techniques effectively.
  • May not be suitable for extremely fine or matted coats without prior de-matting.
  • The green screw may be a different color than standard, requiring visual confirmation for adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The scissors arrive pre-adjusted. To fine-tune the tension, use the included tension key on the flat green ball bearing screw. A gentle turn clockwise tightens the tension, while a counter-clockwise turn loosens it. Test the cut on a small section of hair to ensure smooth operation.

Compatibility: These thinning scissors are designed for use on various animal coats. They are compatible with most standard grooming practices.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a grooming scissor cleaner or a disinfectant wipe, ensuring the blades are thoroughly dried afterward.
  2. Oiling: Regularly apply a drop of quality scissor oil to the pivot point and blades. This lubricates the scissors and prevents rust.
  3. Storage: Store the scissors in a dry place, preferably in their protective case or a designated scissor pouch, to prevent damage and maintain blade sharpness.
