Pro 10" PowerArc Easy Action Shears, Heavy Duty Utility Scissors

The particular Fiskars model shears with the open-top-handle is really GREAT! I compared it against one of Fiskars' other models (selling out of the same Amazon listing) with fully closed loops for both the top and bottom of the handle, and this one is quite superior, providing more leverage while cutting, therefore it's easier on your hand and muscles, AND more effective at cutting. Plus, the blades are SHARP, and strong. The other Fiskars model wasn't bad at all, it was quite good, it's just that this one is significantly better; and its greater ease of cutting is quite noticeable and comes in handy when cutting cardboard boxes, as I do (from Amazon deliveries!). This design with the open top handle and the wide-loop bottom handle (the latter allows more fingers to hold it) not only provides more cutting leverage, but allows you to get whatever material you're cutting out of your way as you cut further and further into it. I also compared this item with yet another set of shears, that one purchased at Home Depot (made by Wiss), but it was definitely a nice set of shears that did a good job. It's just that this Fiskars model clearly does a better job-- it cuts better, cuts thicker materials, and is much easier to cut with, with more leverage, therefore easier on your hand. I don't know how long these Fiskars will last, what with the open, uncovered spring that I wonder if it might become detached, but I bought three of these-- two more after being so pleased with the first one-- and they all three work equally great. By the way, there is a little plastic piece at the bottom of the handle that locks the two-piece handle together so that the blades stay together when stored. (I can see where that lock could easily become undone, however, but so far, that hasn't happened to me.) This is really a phenomenal product, and I can not only cut through thick cardboard boxes with it (I much prefer using this to a box cutter), I can also cut through double-thickness of those boxes when necessary; though there is a bit more difficulty then. I highly recommend this product for its intended uses. And don't let the unusual look of the handle scare you away-- it's actually one of the great features on this set of shears. (By the way, I was drawn to look at Fiskars shears in the first place by reading some other reviewer's recommendation for them!!-- although, of all places, it was in an Amazon review of a set of screwdrivers, where the reviewer was commenting how difficult it was to open that package of screwdrivers with all of the clear plastic glued to cardboard, but that these Fiskars shears made it a lot easier! Reading that screwdriver set review resulted in my buying three pairs of these Fiskars shears!)

Very nice shears. I really like them. Will cut most vegetation stems, not thicker woody stems .

These are exactly what I wanted. They are heavy duty and know that the cutting of stuff in the yard that I can't use scissors or clippers with is what I need. I know I can use it for heavier stuff such as canvas type of fabric much easier. It was a good addition to my tool kit.

Was looking for something to cut rug pad. My rug pads are maybe less than half inch? Regular scissors won’t cut at all. Was considering the utility snip but seems like that’s for smaller stuff. These shears work well for thicker fabric material. Surprised how big it was. See picture compared to regular “large” size scissors. Have used fisker products in the past and am pleased with this one as well.

I purchased these Fiskars shears mostly for use in my kitchen. Specifically for cutting through tough chicken and turkey bones. The can do the job as they are large and strong, however a bit too large for my hands to to be able to squeeze them enough to cut. So I have to enlist my husband to do the cutting. They are well made and I will keep them as they are good for my intended purpose just be aware that they are big and difficult to squeeze.

Very sharp shears. I used this to install sound deadening into my car as well as cutting battery cable. They're lightweight, but very easy to hurt yourself. Be careful using these and always lock it when you're done. It's a good size and pretty accurate cuts.

Heavy duty and easy to use.

These scissors are excellent

Perfect for cutting tough stuff like fronds from palm trees and yuccas. Good product - works well.

Sollte nicht so schwer zu Kaufen sein weil sie wirklich geil ist... habe sie von Amazon USA bekommen weil in EU nicht vorhanden war... Jeden € wer...

These shears are a pleasure to use and have easily cut everything I've thrown at them.
