7-1/2 in. Titanium Coated Tradesman Utility Shear

I bought these specifically for cutting fiber optics but they perform very poorly at the task. They cut the glass portion just fine but will not cut the Kevlar reinforcement fibers without several cutting attempts. The tolerance for the blade gap is too wide and it ends up shoving all the Kevlar fibers down between the blades instead of cutting them. Attempting to tighten the adjustment nut just results in the spring no longer working while still not being able to cut.

I recently viewed the Wiss CW7T online and noticed it had an improved grip over the older W7T. The W7T is a great light/medium duty utility shear, but the hard plastic handles can be slippery at times. The newer CW7T has added rubberized texture grip to the handles and offers better control. I use these for cutting thin plastics, leather, nylon fabrics and such in small volume. Good to go so far!!

I have bought these for workers at my company. The use them all day to cut wire. They all have failed after about 3-4 weeks of continuous use. They are the best while the spring lasts. I would give them 5 stars. But as soon as the spring breaks they are worthless.

Great intermediate cutting tool between basic scissors and tin snips.Great for opening plastic sealed packaging and other heavier task when you don't want to destroy regular house scissors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good pair of cutters. I am an electrician so I cut through multiple materials per day including mule tape, string, and wire. Ive put these through the ringer the past couple months and the only thing that put a chip on the blade was solid 10 gauge wire. Would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these shears for a few weeks now and have to say I'm super impressed. I've never really really liked any scissors/shears because they just are ok... but these made me love them. I have cut up quite a few boxes with these and had zero resistance from the box, and I've tested them on and old, dead power cord. So far nothing I've tried to cut has been any match!! These utility shears will now be my go to scissors and will also replace my basic wire snips for any and all wire cutting since the cut is smoother and cleaner. The grips are nice and comfy to use with no hotspots in my hands with heavy cutting and the lock close feature is smooth and easy to operate. The only tiny ding is that fully open they are super wide for my medium/large hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this a couple of days ago but already had a chance to put it to good use. I used it to cut several nylon electrical zip ties of various sizes. Much better than using standard diagonal cutters that just mash the zip tie instead of actually cutting them. The tapered nose makes it easy to trim very closely. The hinge pivot point is very solid and rigid which prevents flexing when cutting very thick materials. The micro serrations on the cutting edge helps make the edge take a bite, rather than pushing the material out of the shears. They were precise enough to trim a fingernail that I splintered. I also washed them up and used them to cut the joints in a whole chicken. They were perfect kitchen shears. I have some similar shears by Fiskars, but I like these much better. The handle lock is positive and they don't spring open and poke anything ( including fingers) with the sharp points and edge when reaching into a toolbox or pouch. The Fiskars have a leak useless lock compared to these. The Fiskars also do not have the micro serrated cutting edges. I think these would be a great tool for Emergency Medical Techs or Fire Rescue to cut seatbelts or clothing in a vehicle crash response. The only minor comment I have about a potential improvement, would be the addition of a hole for a retention lanyard or to hanger on a pegboard.

I needed a pair of utility scissors for multiple uses in my shed and these proved to be perfect in several ways: - great handfeel - the ergonomics feel right, very comfortable - sturdy - these are stronger than "inside" scissors, and great for cutting cardboard, plastic, and even light wood - serrated blade - one of the two blades is serrated, which helps hold round pieces from slipping while cutting I'm not sure there's anything else I would have wanted in utility scissors - I'm very happy with these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this item 2 days ago, they are sharp enough to cut hair, paper, and cloth. Cutters cut through a copper PEX ring with a bit of effort on my part. The only downfall was trying to cut banding iron... it cut well, but the cutting blades took some glinting and the slightest roll on one edge. The cutters perform with a slight snag, but is a still very sharp cutting tool

These are sharp, have a nice comfortable grip, cut nicely, and seem likely to hold up in the long-term. Always great to purchase items made in the USA, and these fit the bill. Lifetime warranty is another great feature. Choosing tools that will last a lifetime is a important goal of mine, so these shears have many features that will fit that priority.
