The construction seems solid. It handles as easily as a normal scissors. Now, if I cut up documents in which only my name and address are the security 'issue' (like pre-filled credit card offers), I don't have to fire up my full page shredder.

UPDATE: It does NOT cut credit cards.

I was looking for a shredder for my father which would be simple and useful for the very small amount of shredding he needs to do.

This one uses no gas or electricty.

The multi-bladed scissors does a good job of cutting. And its kind of fun to use. (Kids love it.)

Again it is for small amounts--like a few checks, bills with account numbers, and so forth. I told my dad to save less critical and less time urgent paperwork and I would shred it using my office shredder.

I don't know how long the blades will cut, but it looks like they will have the life of a regular inexpensive scissors.

The sissors work really well for smaller papers & receipts. Now, instead of collecting papers & shredding them later with the large machine, I can get them shredded & out of my way. The only problem was that I received a double shipment. They weren't that expensive ,so I didn't send them back. One thing I would improve upon is their packaging. The white boxes were all mashed by the time I got it.

These shred scissors are very good. The product was exactly what I expected, and the price is reasonable. I makes a nice gift, and it's great to have, when you don't have much to shred, or if there isn't another shredder isn't available.

This is great for shredding small amounts (like your name and apt number so your anal and nosy landlord won't put unauthorized trash back on your doorstep).

The upkeep is pretty easy and kinda fun. Paper doesn't really get stuck between the blades (like with regular shredders) but it does spray a little, depending on the paper stock and how you cut. The only other slight annoyance is that items with a lot of static cling are difficult to throw away after shredding...as in they won't come off your hand and into the wastebasket.

As for the complaint that it doesn't shred credit cards easily, let me ask: How easily do regular scissors cut credit cards? These aren't super shears, people. If you need to shred a lot of credit cards, use a bigger shredder. This is for smaller jobs so choose the instrument that best suits your needs.

Excellent product -- I use it daily when sorting through the mail, to cut off/shred personal info (name, address, etc.) before tossing envelopes, magazine covers, etc. (Rather than putting the entire page through my full-sized shredder.) I can't actually recommend it for sheets of mailing labels (you know, the kind charities send to you that you don't want because your name is misspelled or something)--they are too sticky and get caught in the blades. Also don't recommend for credit cards like the photo shows--difficult to cut with the multiple blades. Works great on normal paper, though. I bought several pair for gifts since trying them, as well as a 2nd pair for myself so I can have one in the kitchen (where I open/pitch junk mail) and in the office.

OK to cut up a few sheets of paper but you will need two hands to cut a credit card. Also makes a mess when cutting paper. Its like confetti, which I guess is good in the sense of security. Be careful to pick up all pieces of hard plastic after cuttig up a credit card. In my opinion, could leave sharp pieces of plastic on floor that a pet or child might get to. If you do cut paper or a credit card, cut it over a trash basket.

great idea - poor execution. scissors get clogged immediately with only one sheet of paper. haven't used them since first couple attempts. don't recommend.

As others have mentioned, item shipped was different than what was pictured (blades are at an angle to the gripping handles, not straight as with a standard pair of scissors). They are thoroughly ineffective; the blades jam with paper shreds, so you can not continue cutting across an item; the most I've managed is one or two shred cuts around the edges.

Thoroughly disappointed. Not at all worth the money or wait...

they scissors don't even cut everything i got them in the mail then ran to my shread box i could only somewhat cut one paper at a time and even then the pieces of paper got all stuck in the scissors it was a battle and they are no in a dark cabinet to collect dust
