Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These scissors are lightweight, sharp, and fairly comfortable. The blades are connected by a metal screw (not plastic). I haven't purchased scissors in quite a while and was shocked to learn you can't take this seemingly small but important quality point for granted anymore. The handles are molded, smooth plastic with a thin rubberized lining around the finger holes for better grip and comfort. The rubber lining (not cushion) helps a little bit but nothing spectacular. I read in some earlier reviews that their scissors were all gray, not the pastel colors advertised. It appears they have corrected the problem; I received a blue, pink, and green pair. Color coding is nice since I use one in the kitchen and don't want to cross contaminate. Cut spiralized veggies into manageable bite size pieces , easily open those tough plastic freezer bags or vacuum sealed bags, open mailer jiffy bags, snip those nasty cable ties off packaged items, cut thread, cut up those sticky address labels off packages that you don't want to send through your shredder, cut foil, parchment paper, envelopes, regular paper. These scissors can handle all these chores and more. For general duty scissors, you can't beat the $5/pair price. I love having multiple pairs located throughout the house; it just makes life so much easier. I highly recommend. And, just so you know, since real reviews are getting harder and harder to find on Amazon nowadays, I AM NOT one of those paid reviewers that have now seemingly taken over on Amazon reviews and rendered rating averages worthless! I am a real purchaser who bought the item with no freebies, discount, or any influence whatsover. I am a buyer who relies on the reviews of other REAL BUYERS not those now prolific fake, paid for reviewers! I personally skip over and totally disregard any compensated review. Amazon, please stop this practice which greatly lessens your company's credibility in customers' eyes!
