FAQs
Can these scissors be used by left-handed people?
While the ergonomic handle is primarily designed for right-handed use, the symmetrical nature of the blades allows them to be used by left-handed individuals for basic cutting tasks.
Are these dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand-wash and dry these scissors immediately to preserve the tension and prevent potential corrosion of the pivot point.
What is the blade length?
The blades are part of an 8-inch (210mm) total length design, providing an effective cutting edge suitable for most standard tasks.
Can I cut wire with these?
No, these are designed for general materials like paper, cardboard, and tape. Cutting wire can damage or chip the micro-serrated edges.
Do the cap grips fit all bottle sizes?
The integrated cap grips are designed to fit most standard industrial and household container caps, but may not accommodate oversized or specialty lids.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff during operation
Apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil or silicone lubricant to the pivot screw area and open and close the blades several times to distribute it.
Blades are not cutting cleanly at the tips
Ensure no debris is trapped between the blades. If the issue persists, the blades may need a professional sharpening or the pivot screw may be slightly loose.
Sticky residue on the blades
Wipe the blades with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to dissolve adhesives, then dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors require no assembly; they are ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. To maintain performance, store the scissors in a dry environment to ensure the stainless steel remains in peak condition. If the blades accumulate adhesive residue from tape or labels, clean them with a soft cloth dampened with a mild solvent or rubbing alcohol, then wipe dry immediately. Periodically check the tension screw if the scissors feel loose; however, do not over-tighten, as this can increase friction and accelerate wear on the pivot point.
