THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
This set makes sense for everyday paper, packaging and craft cuts. You get two pairs, so one can stay at a desk and the other with craft supplies. The yellow pivot lets you change how firmly the blades press together without finding a separate tool.
Choose a specialist cutter if your job is long fabric cuts or a true left-handed blade arrangement. These are general-purpose straight scissors. A titanium-bonded surface also does not turn them into metal snips or make the edges immune to wear.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
Set the cutting tension.
The Glide pivot adjusts blade tension. Westcott recommends a lighter setting for thin materials and more tension for thicker material.
Straight blades for everyday cuts.
The straight shape suits paper and general craft work. For a long run of fabric on a table, bent-handle shears can keep your hand farther off the cutting surface.
Keep a pair with each project.
Two scissors let you separate paper work from fabric work, or keep one in a second room. Both pairs use the same gray-and-yellow design.
02 / AMAZON REVIEWS
The buyers’ view.
Buyers of the two-pack report smooth cutting through paper and fabric, with comfortable handles during longer craft projects. One owner particularly likes the roomy finger holes, while another finds the scissors stain easily. An owner also appreciates keeping separate pairs near different household tasks rather than moving one pair around.
