The spring action is a real hand-saver. I occasionally have carpel tunnel syndrome and joint pain. These scissors are the easiest cutting tool I have ever used. They make regular scissors seem old fashioned.

Excellent control for cutting fabric, etc., without engaging all the hand and arm joints normally required. Much easier for me to use with my arthritic hands.

The Fiskars 9911 model pictured with this listing is the older version of these same scissors — which is the reason I chose to purchase them here. However, it appears that Fiskars no longer produces the version pictured. They new model has been redesigned to be more “ergonomic” I suppose… but the slide lock mechanism on the new models isn’t located in the same spot which makes it slightly less convenient for me large hands. Also, the lock on the new model tends to slip forward when cutting and hinders the range of the scissors and will occasionally slip back and let the scissors open when they are in my holster.
All in all I have always been happy with the Fiskars scissors — the blades stay sharp and the cutting action is smooth — but as with some other products in the past (think “New Coke”) the older model is superior to the newer.

Open Easy As Stated
Not real great for very controlled cutting IMO
Guess best used for cutting straight lines and heavy items like card board?
Find my self grabbing my old standby regular scissors a lot of times.

This is my second pair of Fiscars spring action scissors. My first pair was damaged, so I had to get another pair.The blade is delicate, so don’t make the mistake of cutting into a pin or they will be useless. These cut through many layers of fabric with ease and the spring action saves your hand from getting tired.
