FAQs

What makes these scissors 'Germ-Savvy'?

The handles have an integrated antibacterial protection that helps inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface.

How long do the blades stay sharp?

The titanium-coated blades are designed to stay sharp for up to 125,000 cuts.

Can these scissors be used by left-handed people?

Yes, the soft-grip handles are designed to be comfortable and functional for both right and left-handed users.

What materials can these scissors cut?

They are ideal for cutting paper, photos, thin card, plastic, lightweight fabrics, and can also cut tape.

Are the blades made of pure titanium?

The blades are titanium-coated, meaning they have a durable titanium layer applied over the base metal for enhanced strength and sharpness.

What is included in the pack?

The pack contains two 21cm scissors in assorted colours, typically one green and one orange.

How should I clean the scissors?

Wipe the blades and handles with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Ensure there is no debris lodged between the blades. Clean the blades and the pivot point. If stiffness persists, a tiny drop of lubricant on the pivot may help, but wipe away any excess.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Check for any residue on the blades. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure you are cutting materials within the recommended thickness. If cuts remain jagged, the blades may be nearing the end of their effective lifespan, though this is unlikely given their durability.

Antibacterial protection seems ineffective

The antibacterial feature is integrated into the handle material and works continuously. It does not require activation. Ensure the handles are cleaned regularly as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable titanium-coated blades maintain sharpness for extended periods.
  • Antibacterial protection in handles enhances hygiene.
  • Comfortable, ambidextrous soft-grip handles reduce user fatigue.
  • Versatile for a wide range of cutting tasks from paper to light fabrics.
  • Can be opened fully to cut through packaging tape.

Cons

  • Sold as a pack of two, which may be unnecessary for some individuals.
  • Primarily suited for lighter-duty cutting; not designed for heavy materials.
  • Assorted colours may not be a preferred choice for all users.
  • While blades are strong, prolonged heavy use could eventually dull them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These scissors require no assembly. They are ready for immediate use upon removal from packaging.

Compatibility: The Rapesco 1666 scissors are designed for cutting common household and office materials such as paper, photos, thin card, plastic films, lightweight fabrics, and packing tape. They are *not* intended for cutting heavy-duty materials like thick cardboard, metal, or tough textiles.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and hygiene:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blades and handles periodically with a damp cloth. For the antibacterial properties, avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the handle material.
  2. Storage: Store the scissors in a dry place. Ensure the blades are clean and dry before storage to prevent any potential damage or residue buildup.
  3. Blade Maintenance: While the titanium coating enhances durability, avoid cutting into hard surfaces or staples, which can damage the blades.
