Crescent Wiss 10" Bent Handle Industrial Shears - W20

I LOVE this pair of scissors. Nothing like the feel and weight of quality. I could defend myself from a home invader with these. So sharp. Cuts everything. Stop buying cheap plastic-handled scissors and step up to real deal.

For the money you cannot beat these Crescent Wiss shears. They cut 6K Carbon Fiber twill like it's nothing. 2x2 6oz fiberglass twill cuts like a sheet of paper. These are exactly what I wanted and they feel like they will last many years as they are very well built.

Very large scissors. Durable look. Not sure why I bought them but they are very strong. I’ve been able to cut through all kinds of stuff around my house. Very effective scissors.

Sturdy, heavy, powerful. Finally a pair of scissors that can cut through those stupid blister packs and still cut paper. I can cut a beer can in half (yes, don't even ask me why) and these scissors will still cut paper perfectly, even at the end of the blades (where most other scissors will fail after a while). We beat the . . . well, you know . . . out of these scissors and they are still as sharp as when we bought them last year. I really think we'll be handing these scissors down to our kids (unless they end up in a slasher movie. Yes - they look just like the ones in Psycho!). :-)

I think these are high quality shears that worked well for my needs. I used to use kitchen scissors to cut fiberglass cloth for surfboard ding repair and the scissors would always create runs and pulls in the cloth. So now that I needed to work in glass cloth again for another hobby, I was determined to find a better solution to cutting the fabric. These shears are large and heavy (but not in a bad way). I chose the smaller 10" version and worried I needed the 12" version. This turned out not to be a problem. The 10" version worked well. My only complaint is that the shears are very stiff in the hinge. I can't tell if it is the hinge itself, or the fact that the shears seem to have a fair amount of pressure on the two blades. That is, they sort of overlap so that when you cut with them, the blades rub against each other as they close toward the tip. They are tight enough that I can barely open them with my cutting hand alone. I oiled the hinge but it didn't do anything meaningful. Maybe they will break in overtime. I wouldn't give them back though as they did an excellent job cutting the fiberglass cloth.

Great scissors, I upholster, these cut great. They are heavy but I've yet to find a lightweight pair of scissors that keep their edge. Would 💯 recommend

Costing not much more than two pairs of "shop scissors" at my local big box store, these Wiss shears actually have an adjustment screw holding them together, and are made of heavy enough steel that they could be sharpened, should that become necessary. The pair from my big box store appeared to have a screw, but it actually did not, and they were made from inferior material.In retrospect, don't try to save a couple of dollars buying cheap scissors. If you need heavy duty, buy these. They're up to the job, and they'll last you much longer.

Bought these for my wife for sewing, she loves them, and now her mom wants a pair.I have a pair of heavy Wiss shears I bought 20 years ago when I worked in boatbuilding. I forget what the model was (long worn off the blades), but they are bigger and nicer finished than these, but they were also around $100. I figured I'd give these a shot for my wife (who usually uses cheap shears), and she loves them. These definitely don't have quite the same fit and finish as my old Wiss shears, but these are still much better than most other shears on the market for a much better price. I've sharpened my old Wiss shears many many times over the years, and these look as though they will be just as resharpenable, the blades appear to be pretty hard.Highly recommend these for anyone looking for some nice fabric shears without wanting to spend a fortune.
