Product Information
Full details
The Rapesco 21 cm scissors are designed for precise and comfortable cutting for a wide range of materials, ideal for office, retail, classroom, and home use. Their finely machined stainless steel blades ensure clean cuts, while the smooth ABS handles offer ergonomic support for both right and left-handed users. A potential consideration is that while versatile, they are best suited for lighter-duty tasks rather than heavy-duty materials.

Troubleshooting
Blades feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Wipe the pivot area with a clean cloth. If stiffness persists, a tiny drop of light machine oil on the pivot point may help, but ensure it's wiped off excess before use.
Uneven or ragged cuts.
Ensure you are cutting appropriate materials. If the issue persists with standard materials, the blades may need sharpening. Check that the blades are properly aligned at the pivot.
Handles feel uncomfortable.
While designed for comfort, individual hand shapes vary. Try holding the scissors with a different grip or consider if a different size or style of scissors might be a better fit for your specific needs.
