FAQs

Are these snips suitable for cutting fabric?

Yes, the serrated blades grip fabric well, allowing for clean cuts on various textiles.

How do I clean adhesive residue from the blades?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn residue, use a specialized adhesive remover, then clean and dry the blades thoroughly.

Can these snips cut through thin metal?

They are designed for tougher substrates like plastics and thick fabrics. Cutting very thin metal may be possible, but it could potentially dull the blades faster. Always check the material's suitability.

What makes the titanium bonding special?

Titanium bonding makes the blades three times harder than stainless steel, significantly increasing their durability, corrosion resistance, and resistance to adhesive buildup.

Why are the handles bent?

The bent handle design allows you to cut on a flat surface while keeping your hand elevated above the material, providing better control and comfort during use.

Are these snips dishwasher safe?

It is not recommended to put these snips in a dishwasher. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by thorough drying, will best preserve the blade quality and handle integrity.

What is the warranty on these snips?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

Blades sticking to material

Wipe blades clean after use. Ensure material is not excessively sticky or gummy. For residue, use a mild solvent specifically designed for adhesive removal on blades, then clean and dry thoroughly.

Cutting not clean or requires excessive force

Check if the material is too thick or hard for the snips. Ensure the blades are properly aligned. If dullness is suspected, consider professional sharpening.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are holding the snips with the comfort grips properly. For very prolonged use, taking short breaks can help prevent fatigue.

Rust spots appear on blades

While titanium bonding offers high corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can still cause surface marks. Gently clean the spots with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner (like baking soda paste), then dry immediately. Apply a light coat of mineral oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Clauss Titanium Bonded Bent Snips are designed for general-purpose cutting and are compatible with a wide range of materials including paper, cardboard, fabric, plastic, tape, and some thinner metals (ensure material is not too thick to avoid damaging blades).

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, damp cloth. For adhesive residue, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.
  2. Storage: Store the snips in a dry place to prevent any potential corrosion, although the titanium bonding offers significant protection.
  3. Sharpening: These blades are designed for long-lasting sharpness. If sharpening becomes necessary, use a professional blade sharpener suitable for titanium-bonded blades. Avoid using household sharpeners.
  4. Avoid: Do not use these snips for cutting live electrical wires or materials harder than they are designed for, as this can damage the blades.
