Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Take a moment to look at the picture I've included. This did not happen from harsh use or prying with the blades. This is what happened to one of the blades of these gardening scissors when I placed it in over-the-counter, 70% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL for a few minutes to disinfect before use. The end has literally curled up. It was perfectly straight when I opened them to place them in the 70% isopropyl alcohol. I placed them with the blades down inside a glass. There was no pressure on them. The metal literally softened in simple drugstore alcohol. Gravity did the rest. Needless to say, I do not recommend these. In fact, I enthusiastically warn you away from these if you want something made from stainless steel—because stainless steel does not melt in isopropyl alcohol. These were Amazon's Choice for "garden scissors." Don't trust the algorithm that determines this this "choice" to deliver quality. "Amazon's Choice," particularly lately for me, has become synonymous with "the cheapest trash we'd like to move fast." I've had to return several items that were all Amazon Choice items.
