20 Best Scissors For Cutting Carpet (2023 Updated)

I will start with the bad first because i only can mention 2 negatives, first the packaging that these are sold in is a thin plastic sleeve, these shears are very large, upon picking up the package for the first time the shears fell through and landed point first on my legs, luckily no damage was done but better packaging needs happen.

Second is in the paint for the grip, there were a few small imperfections that were noticeable when gripping. Now to the positives. These are built like a Sherman Tank, heavy with a beautiful grind and polish on the cutting edge.

I have been able to cut thick cardboard, card-stock, and even tried tissue and toilet paper and the results were the same. It cuts like butter. Besides the small imperfections in the grip paint, the grip feels fantastic.

I got these scissors thinking that they’d be great to have in the garage for cutting twine and such. Wife “borrowed” them to cut wrapping paper and some fabric she has and I haven’t seen them since. The one time I did get to use them to cut twine and butcher paper they worked pretty well.

They are plenty sharp and have a nice heft to them. Make no mistake they are a large pair of scissors and since I tend to cut larger pieces of paper I’m plenty happy with the size. Since my wife has absconded with them she told me that they cut very well and doesn’t intend to give them back.

I wish I had gotten a picture of them next to something to show off the size and some of the stuff that I’ve cut prior to them being disappeared but what can you do?.

I cut composites- carbon fiber, kevlar, the works. Ive been using $90 Italian beefy boy scissors, but you can get these cheaper. Maybe there is less metal on them so it cant be sharpened as much but Id rather have 2 pairs of these any day.

HOW TO SHARPEN I sharpen by hand in a bench top angle grinder. It takes some practice to get the angles right. Keep trying, its a valuable skill that lasts a lifetime. DO NOT scissor them before removing the burr that is formed.

I take the burr off by running a fresh razor blade along the smooth side of the blades. Run the grinder at low speeds to get more serrations and kevlar will cut great ????.

The Scissors are heavy duty. They look and cut good. I gave it 4 stars because they had sharp edges and if used for a long time would irritate fingers. I had to stone the HANDLE edges to smooth them out.

A minor flaw, I thought worth mentioning.

I’m not a master seamstress but I am doing auto upholstery and needed a pair of shears that cut with the very tip. Local shears just couldn’t get it done. but these do!! Super comfortable, very sharp, long reach.

all for under $10 shipped! Had no idea how nice solidly made shears made my life when working in vinyl and fabric. Again, I don’t do quilts or clothing. but for auto interiors, including headliners, these are superb!!!!.

Very good quality scissors. Heavy duty and well built. I used them once and was quite impressed. My old shop scissors had pretty much died.

This is my first time for using this type of scissors but due to arthritic hands, I thought I would give them a try. Here is my review. I like the size and shape of the scissors. My hands do not cramp when using them.

They have plenty of power for cutting several layers of fabric. I will be cutting lots of fabric this winter with them so will put them to the test. So far, I am very pleased with the scissors as well as the price.

These same scissors are much more expensive from other stores. I liked them so well I ordered a pair for my 80 year old mother. Also, the delivery time was excellent.

I have arthritis in my hands. It hurts to use a regular scissors. I love the ergonomic design. Its easy to handle and use. I love that the blades can be replaced when dull and that there is a cover for the blades.

Overall I would definitely recommend this product!.

This item cuts great and is alsome would but it again for a friend or a family member great price as well thanks again finger hut sinserly j Stoddard

These are my 5th pair of Kai scissors and they all excel at cutting. This pair is heavy and built to go through heavy fabrics like Kevlar or canvas. The quality doesn’t really show up in the photo because you don’t see the thickness.

My other (smaller) Kai scissors have held up to long-term use without needing sharpening. Expensive but worth the price if you need the extra strength.

As much as I love using a rotary cutter there are times it is better to use a scissors. The Kai scissors are the best scissors I have ever owned.

Super precision and workmanship!

I was looking for a pair of scissors for my leftie granddaughter and was delighted to find these

They were comfortable in my hand but unfortunately they aren’t sharp.

My son loves these for his school work no more struggling with these left handed scissors

Great all around heavy duty shears. I use daily mainly to cut up plastics for recycling, including heaviest around like trashcans, aquatainers, and the like. Very comfy to use.

I never knew there was any other type of scissors besides the sharp stabby ones or the blunt ones that don’t cut. These scissors really can be used in your left or right hand and I love how I can fit 4 fingers in one handle and a thumb in the other.

Unlike normal scissors that have only enough room for the thumb, I have a lot more control over my cuts. I swiped my finger on the ceramic blade and it felt sharp, but it didn’t cut my finger. It cut through the box it came in very easily though.

I would let my 8yo use these scissors. Hopefully, they last a long time.

Bought to cut thru some 1/2 inch diameter fish skin dog chews. Barely worked. Don’t seem sharp at all. Dissappointing.

Well designed and manufactured. Used them to reduce a number of cardboard boxes to recycler size. Thought my arthritic hands would be screaming the next day but no problem. Very satisfied with this purchase.

These scissors were purchased for my husband to use at work, trimming fiberglass tape and heavy duty card board. They are the best scissors he has ever use. We are purchasing two more! I’d highly recommend them!.

Good basic scissors. Not heavy duty by any means. I believe that this is one of their more budget orientated products I’ve purchased several other Westcott scissor before and I have several that are older than 10 years old still going strong.

These are not constructed the same way. I will say that they are sharp enough for most household tasks. They are also cheap enough to have several one hand when they do start to dull.

As heavy as these shears are being unable to have the small finger in the grip is very uncomfortable and a little unstable as well. I have a fair amount of cardboard to be cut into patterns. There is a more comfortable way to do it except it would require more space and set up time.

The time saving is the primary reason I went with the shears but it sure can aggravate arthritis after prolonged use. The shears cut well and no doubt for my use will last forever.

Found out about the bent shears with the foam grips, from a coworker. And have noticed that it is easier than all metal shears, on the hands and wrist it makes a difference.

Too bad they aren’t USA made (grr Cooper Tools), but they are good quality. I cut through carpet mat with no trouble. No doubt it’ll prove useful on other projects too.

Don’t let the size fool you. This is a mighty little shears with big cutting capability. The unique full-hand grip is nonslip and imparts great cutting power for thick materials. The compact blades are super sharp and the Titanium bonding makes them glide through a wide variety of materials.

The nylon lock nut on the blade pivot provides easy and secure tension adjustment and keeps the blades secure and aligned. As always, you can’t beat the lifetime warranty.

These shears are a great addition to my toolbox. I love that they have big handles so you can get great leverage when cutting tough material. The titanium bonded blades are extremely durable and easily cut through anything I have tried.

The adjustable tension is a great feature as well depending on the material. Great product.

Ok, the first thing about these I noticed was that they look silly and disproportionate. When I went to use them though, I dont care what they look like, because they are some of the smoothest and best cutting shears Ive ever used.

Their handles are extremely comfortable and ergonomic, and the leverage on the relatively unassuming blades makes them cut almost effortlessly. Bottom line: These shears are awesome. They are super comfortable, super effective, and super easy to use.

Buy these. You will be impressed.

I was very excited to receive this product to try. Who doesn’t love a new pair of scissors! I feel like these are like socks in my house and at work in that they go missing all the time! The packaging is professional.

It is simple but classy. I like the colors used. The black, grey and white are soothing. I don’t know the price point, but I would hope these would not be too expensive. I wonder if there is a way to change the packaging to reduce waste.

The box is paper that can be recycled and then there is a plastic holder. I like that both parts of the packaging can be recycled, but is there a way to reduce the packaging that is used. ? I used these scissors immediately upon opening them and I was very pleased.

The blades are sharp and made straight cuts accurately. I also used them to cut curves and they were just as easy to use. I think these scissors would be great at the office, but can also be used for arts and crafts and other projects.

The handle is indeed ergonomic. I like that I can use two fingers in the larger handle. This allows for more control when cutting. These may be my new favorite office product! I just compared these scissors to several other scissors that I currently own and the handle has me spoiled already.

I didn’t realize that simple changes would make such a big difference. I could see these TRU RED scissors as part of a color coded desk set. Great product! I am excited to use my TRU RED scissors in the office and at home.

When I need to purchase a new pair of scissors, I will definitely look for this brand at Staples.

First look, this is a high quality pair of scissors. Non-Stick titanium coating looks like a non-stick cooking pan. This is good. I also liked the curved blades and the promise that these blades resist adhesive build-up.

I will be giving this feature a little more time and see what happens. I also noticed that these scissors are for right handed users. The handles are shiny with soft grippy insides for comfort. Overall, I am impressed by the black and gray color scheme.

Professional packaging. TRU RED brand is catchy since there is no splash of red at all on the product or the packaging. I also liked the TRU RED branding on the screw that holds the blades in place. All the edges are smooth.

Cutting is straight and sharp. Blades stay closed when left closed so they do not open when you pick them up. There is a little resistance when using them but I am guessing this will ease up over time.

Does this have recycled content (on packaging or product)? That would be the icing on the cake.

I was genuinely surprised with how much I liked these scissors. I tend to do a lot of crafting so I use scissors a lot. These have been great so far and I am planning to go buy a second pair. These scissors have a sleek/modern look to them with dark colors which is nice.

They fit in both my right and left hand comfortably. The handle has a nice grip that is comfortable (surprisingly!) and my hand didn’t hurt after using scissors for 5 minutes straight. They have a little bit of weight to them and are sharp.

I cut different materials with them and it easily cut a nice straight line through paper, multiple papers, cardboard, and a piece of plastic. Overall, they look nice and expensive, cut really well, and the handle is comfortable and can be used by either hand.

I highly recommend these scissors and have found a pair I LOVE!.

Comparing these scissors to my old pair, they both easily cut through paper. They both cut through the plastic that these scissors came in [though that’s where this pair started to show its strength].

They both cut through cardstock [though this pair treated the cardstock like a sheet of paper where my old scissors could tell it was thick]. And then I cut some cardboard. This pair laughed in the face of brown wood fiber adversity.

My old pair, not so much. The old pair of scissors are now sitting on my desk so that someone might steal them. Why, then, a 4 star review and not 5? The thumb grip on my old scissors feels like it was molded to my hand.

This pair of scissors is a little less comfortable. If I were using scissors all day every day, I might choose a different pair that fit my specific hand a little differently.

I have to tell you; scissors are not something I would normally give a second thought to! That was until I begun working in our office. These scissors are very sharp and feel very well made. They do an excellent job cutting card stock.

I will buy a pair or two for home!.
