Default Scissors

We are continuing with our testing program with our tools. Tomorrow we are
sending a scissor to Pauline to test for us. So far, it sounds like Jill
has been pleased with our scissors. I am still waiting to hear from
Kristie. Has anyone heard from her lately?

Regards,

Derek

I just received my scissors from Derek on Wednesday, so have not given them
a good workout yet - but so far, they are really sharp & nice & light. I
really like the large opening for your fingers to fit in - I've had the
occasional occurance where your fingers get in an awkward position in the
handles & it's hard to get them out. The scissors I am testing also come
with a strap that makes the scissors spring loaded. I like this feature,
but can see that it could be a safety issue if other people are in your work
area & you are not careful to disconnect the strap when you are finished
using the scissors in this manner. Will give a further update as I use my
scissors in various applications.

I, too, have received a pair of 'spring loaded' scissors. I really like
them. I've already had a friend of mine test them out - her grandson tried
them too. Both were impressed. They take half the effort to use because
you only squeeze and the 'spring' pulls them back open. I noticed that my
pair seems a bit large for most women's hands, but I contacted Derek about
it and he said that there are other sizes. Fits me fine, though.
