Crescent Wiss 10" Bent Handle Industrial Shears - W20

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.

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

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.

Just the size a woman can use with ease.

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.

I have had a pair for more than 40 years and was time for an upgrade. These are heavy duty and very sharp. Can easily cut through delicate materials and multiple thicknesses of leather. I have used them to cut cardboard and aluminum sheets and other materials that they weren't intended for. These are about a large as you need, any larger and they become difficult to handle unless you have very large hands and arm strength to operate.

I make billboards from vinyl plastics and mesh. These scissors cut through the material like butter. I don't have to apply much pressure to get the material to cut. At times, all I have to do is pull the material through and it is cut. I just wish they were a little lighter weight with padded handles. My work often requires me to cut up and away from me, if not up over my head, and the weight and hard handles leave my arm tired and my hand sore. Especially if I am having to cut a lot of 12 oz or backlight material which is thick and heavy.

Big, weighty, and SHARP right out of the package. Go get dollar store junk if you want anything else.
