If you have precision cutting that you need to do, these scissors are the perfect choice. You do need to be careful, though, as they are extremely sharp and are not safe for children to use.

You can lock them as well to prevent accidents and Fiskars provides replacement springs if one is ever needed. I used my scissors so much that the spring finally wore out; I couldn't find a replacment and emailed Fiskars. They send several to me free of charge with a letter thanking me for my support of their products.

I have broken the thumb of my dominant hand and these are a godsend. I can cut anything without needing to ask for help or competely mangling whatever I am cutting.

These must be the best little sissors for serious crafters around. They lock so you don't risk them being left open for little (or your own) fingers to get sliced on and it helps them to store compactly as well. They are sharp and get around tight spots easily.

I wish I found these earlier in my life.
They are so easy on the hands and fingers dont get
cramped and sore from hours of trimming and
manicuring fine gourmet marijuana buds.
Best snips yet.Spring loaded so you dont have to open your hands every cut.
Love 'em.

Save $3 by buying item # 9921 instead of # 12-9921. I've used these for years and lost a couple. So, since I couldn't tell the difference on Amazon, I ordered one of each. They are identical; same length, width, weight, blade length, spread, everything. The only difference is that the cheaper one (9921) also provides a rubber tip protector for storage or to protect your pocket.

That said, I wouldn't be without these snips. I pot a lot of plants and they are always by my side. I have small hands and they don't spring too wide for me. Other brands are too big for my hands.

This is the tool of choice for trimming cannabis buds. Your trimmers can work for hours before their hands cramp up. Precise and sharp.

They also work well for crafts, hobbies and model building.

Talk about ergonomic! These scissors cut like a knife through butter. The spring action is terrific and the nice touch, latch to keep them closed is welcome and frankly needed so you wont cut yours or anyone else s fingers.

I would not hesitate to recommend these. The few extra bucks is worth the output and the design is a pleasure. Go ahead, buy them. There fun and they work better than any scissors for general use I have ever tried. They cut cloth, paper, thin plastics and other materials like them without so much as a hiccup.

These scissors are amazing! They are really sharp and get into small spaces. Great for crafting. They lock which is a great feature not only for myself but for little hands!

Although I still use these the orange blade lock broke in two and was impossible to repair very shortly after purchase (days), so now the scissors constantly want to stay open. I did not abuse or force the blade lock, nor did I drop the scissors.

*****
I love my snips--they are light, sharp, sturdy, and lock easily. I use them only for light gardening use, primarily floral. They are most handy for trimming all of the flowers my husband brings in from the garden in summer. I am ordering another because I am so pleased with them, and want one for outside and one for inside the house. They are comfortable to hold because of the padded handle. They are smaller than I'd thought but so far they've handled every job I've done with them. I am being careful with them and not using them for heavy pruning (I have pruners for this). I think that if you want some inexpensive quality snips you'll be very pleased with these.

They could just be used as plain scissors, I suppose, but they really are ideal for flowers, and I have seen them marketed elsewhere as this.

Highly recommended.
