Can this cut PVC Wall Panels
Asked by anon August 3, 20201
AnswerI'm pretty sure they can. I'm not up for trying it, but they are tough and sharp, and when you are done, they will come apart (a socket head shoulder bolt and a nyloc secure the hinge) so you can hone them back to sharp. If you were installing, for example a PVC shower surround, I think they'd do the job of trimming the panels quite nicely. Of course you can just score the straight cuts with a utility knife and snap but for irregular shapes and circles, yeah, these would be good for that.
Are they available in left hand?
Asked by Bmoo December 19, 20196
AnswersYes it does !
Would these cut insulation?
Asked by dc July 23, 20195

Will this cut the 3" foam?
Asked by Boomer April 28, 20195

Can these be used to cut heavy leather - 3mm thick?
Asked by abc123 December 5, 20189

We purchased these Wiss 8-1/2 in. Home and Craft Scissors...
We purchased these Wiss 8-1/2 in. Home and Craft Scissors to cut the fiberglass 6 ounce cloth we're using to fiberglass our ply on frame 20' LOA, 8' Beam boat we're building in our backyard. The scissors are excellent for this type of work and we recommend them for fiberglass cloth and mat cutting.

Worked great for my task
Considered purchasing a utility knife to cut air conditioner pads. When I reached for utility knife I noticed the scissors. I decided to buy the scissors and that made my job safer and easier. Nice to have the cutting tools next to each other so as to choose for proper task.

The best house scissors I have ever had
Having good scissors in the house is a must. This scissors is one of the best scissors you might have. I absolutely love them. The size can satisfy most of my needs in the house. Blades are made from stainless steel, strong and precise and are connected together by adjustable pivot, so you can adjust the cutting "tension" to your comfort if you wish. Handles are from soft on touch vinyl, along inside perimeter where fingers are touching is wider lip, so that even when I cut cardboard box and pressed harder, my fingers did not hurt and scissors did not leave any pressure imprints on my hand and fingers. So far the scissors cut everything. I cut with them cardboard, paper, jeans fabric and piece of very fine silk fabric which usually is difficult to cut. They are very comfortable to work with. Also, between both handles is a small bump functioning as a “spacer” so your fingers don’t get squeezed between both handles while cutting. Although scissors are made strong, they don’t feel heavy and cutting action is very smooth and easy.

These utility shears are a beast. Purchased for a move, they've managed to cut through endless cardboard, tape, paper, and everything else with ease. They feel great in one's hand, and have held up remarkably well. Looking forward to using these for years to come.
