Product Information

Full details

The Westcott Titanium Super Soft Grip Scissors are designed for crafters, home organizers, and everyday users seeking a durable and comfortable cutting tool. Their key benefit lies in the titanium nitride coating that resists adhesive buildup, ensuring clean cuts through tape and glue. A potential consideration is that while comfortable, the specialized coating may be overkill for simple paper cutting needs.

FAQs

Are these scissors dishwasher safe?

It is not recommended to put these scissors in a dishwasher. Handwashing with a damp cloth and thorough drying is the best method for care.

What makes the titanium nitride coating special?

The titanium nitride coating provides a super hard surface that is extremely resistant to wear and prevents sticky substances like tape and glue from adhering to the blades.

How long is the warranty period?

These scissors come with a 25-year warranty.

Can these scissors cut fabric?

Yes, they can cut fabric for general crafting purposes. However, for professional upholstery or heavy textiles, dedicated fabric shears are recommended.

What is the primary advantage of the Soft Grip handles?

The Soft Grip handles are ergonomically shaped and made of a comfortable material that reduces hand fatigue during extended use and provides a more secure grip for precise cutting.

How should I clean sticky residue from the blades?

Wipe the blades with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild soap solution. For stubborn residue, rubbing alcohol can be effective. Always dry the blades completely afterward.

Troubleshooting

Blades are sticking to tape/glue.

Ensure blades are clean. Wipe them with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For persistent residue, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and then dry.

Cutting is not smooth or clean.

Check for any debris or residue on the blades. Ensure the pivot point is clean and free of obstruction. If the blades appear dull, consult the warranty information for potential sharpening or replacement services.

Handles feel uncomfortable.

Adjust your grip to utilize the Soft Grip areas. These scissors are designed for ergonomic comfort; ensure your hand is positioned to take advantage of the shaped handles.
