Troubleshooting

Blades feel stiff or sticky

Clean the blades thoroughly with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Apply a small amount of tool oil to the pivot point and work the shears a few times to distribute. Ensure no debris is caught in the pivot.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Sharpen the blades using a whetstone or a sharpening file designed for shears. Ensure the blades are properly aligned and the pivot screw is appropriately tightened. Avoid cutting materials harder than intended for these shears.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are holding the shears correctly, utilizing the red rubber grip sleeves for maximum comfort. For very long tasks, consider taking breaks. While designed for comfort, extreme hand sizes may find them less ergonomic.

Rust spots appearing on blades

Clean the rust spots gently with fine steel wool or a rust remover. Immediately after, dry the blades completely and apply a light coat of tool oil to prevent further corrosion. Store in a dry environment.
