Not Powerful Enough [Posted on 2008-06-16] But then again, what should I expect on a Gold Box Deal for ten bucks?
My overall opinion is that, "This thing is garbage." At least that's what I've said to my wife time and time again.
I bought it for one purpose: those molded, plastic packages that everything seems to come in these days. It does a decent job if you're cutting straight and if the plastic isn't thick. However, if you're trying to cut into a tight corner of the package or if there's any "meat" to the plastic, it just grinds to a halt. I have taken out my Cutco scissors more times that I should have needed since purchasing these.
I haven't used it for cardboard, but based on my experience with plastic, I doubt it would do much for corrugated board. I also haven't used it for paper products, but I'm sure it would suffice in most cases. It just doesn't do a good job on molded, plastic packaging.
Almost manufactured IN China [Posted on 2008-06-16] I got this on a Gold Box special, for what I thought was a good price. I'm now back to using my "old" way of opening up plastic encased products, which is by using my Stanley heavy duty box cutter.
These scissors will barely cut through a thin sheet of paper, so that the "good price" I got them for should have been about 90% lower than what I paid.
This pair of Black and Decker scissors really does rate a 0 and is one of the worse pieces that I've purchased since, now, all Black and Decker tools are being made in China.
I won't be buying any more Black and Decker products.
Great for Many Things [Posted on 2008-06-24] These scissors work great for many things. I bought two pair on a gold box special. I put one pair in the kitchen gadget drawer, and the other in my tool box. The kitchen scissors are great for lopping off the top of plastic bags of frozen foods, etc. also great for cutting parchment for baking, cardboard for cakes, breaking down cereal boxes for the gargage, recycling and on and on. I use them many times a day. The tool box pair work great for package opening, cutting drop clothes, etc. Just about any dry cutting that involves streaches of thin stock is a snap with these. Yes they work on plastic bubble packs.
Magic scissors! [Posted on 2008-06-28] I've used these to cut plastic and they even made it easy to cut aluminum "bubble wrap" in a straight line. Like them!
Nice tool [Posted on 2008-06-30] Nice tool, cuts well. If you do a lot of cutting, it's worth every penny. Don't expect it to cut cardboard or Burlap. Paper, film and fine cloth, it works great.
