FAQs

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?

These scissors are designed as a universal, single-type tool that can be used by both left and right-handed individuals for basic cutting tasks.

Can these scissors cut fabric?

While they can handle very light fabric, they are optimized for paper and stationery craft. Cutting heavy or multiple layers of fabric may result in poor performance.

What is the total length of the scissors?

The overall length of the scissors is 130mm.

Does the ruler on the blade use centimeters or inches?

The ruler marked on the blade is measured in centimeters, covering a length of 5cm.

How should I clean the stainless steel blades?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If there is sticky residue, use a cloth slightly dampened with water and dry them immediately afterwards.

Are these dishwasher safe?

No, these scissors are not dishwasher safe. Prolonged exposure to heat and water in a dishwasher can damage the handle plastic and the blade pivot.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open

Check the pivot point for debris or paper scraps. Clear any obstructions and ensure the handle hinge is free of sticky substances.

Blades are not cutting cleanly through paper

Clean the blades of any adhesive residue and ensure you are using the scissors only on paper or light craft materials; avoid cutting thicker materials like card or plastic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, rust-resistant stainless steel construction
  • Built-in 5cm ruler for immediate measurements
  • Lightweight design prevents hand fatigue
  • Affordable and reliable for standard classroom tasks

Cons

  • Not suitable for thick materials or heavy-duty cutting
  • Designed primarily for smaller hands or light use
  • Limited to straight-cut patterns only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These scissors require no setup; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain optimal performance, keep the blades clean by wiping away paper dust or adhesive residue with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. While the blades are stainless steel, they should be kept away from excessive moisture to prevent long-term degradation of the joint mechanism. Ensure the scissors are not used to pry open containers, as this can misalign the blades and impede the straight-cut function. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the plastic handles.
