    Q:Can this cut PVC Wall Panels
    by|Aug 3, 2020
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  I'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.

      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.

      good until they broke
      The metal blade only goes down into the plastic handle about an inch or two. This causes a weak point. The blade broke right out of the handle.

        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.

        Was actually pleasantly surprised with the quality and feel of the shears along with the ease of adjusting the friction pivot. Just need to remember it's stated intended purpose for certain materials and thicknesses.
