Product Information
Full details
These 5-inch Westcott Titanium Scissors are designed for crafters, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone needing precise cutting with sticky materials. Their key benefit is the titanium nitride coating on stainless steel blades, which prevents tape and glue residue buildup, ensuring a clean cut every time. A potential caveat is their 5-inch size, which may be less ideal for very large projects compared to larger scissors.

These scissors are designed with an ergonomic grip that is generally comfortable for right-handed use. They may not be ideal for left-handed users seeking a dedicated left-handed scissor.
How do I clean the titanium coating?
Wipe the blades with a soft, damp cloth. For adhesive residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol, then wipe dry.
What materials can these scissors cut effectively?

Will the titanium coating wear off?
The titanium nitride coating is durable for normal use and is designed to resist wear. However, excessive force or abrasive cleaning could potentially affect the coating over time.
What is the warranty period for these scissors?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.
