These Black & Decker 3.6-volt cordless power scissors can be used on fabric, cardboard, paper, tarps, more. Up to 70 minutes continuous run time on one charge should serve all of your cutting needs. These scissors offer way more cutting power than just about anyone can muster with muscle alone, best of all, it’s effortless. You can’t help but love a product that makes life so much easier, especially for folks who suffer from arthritis. When power scissors first came out, there wasn’t too much concern about ergonomics, however we know so much more these days about how important that is. Black & Decker’s made this power tool a treat for the body to use, with a nice cushy grip, super light weight and no force needed.
I would suggest these scissors for anyone who is looking for scissors of any kind, ignore any other electric ones you might be interested in. After using these scissors you will wonder why you stayed with your old manual scissors or rotary cutters. While scissors and rotary cutters do have their uses, these scissors will probably be my only choice for cutting out patterns and quilt pieces in the future.
These scissors have rechargeable batteries and will not cut if plugged in. They are very lightweight and balanced. I cut out a pattern in about 25% of the time I used to take with a rotary cutter and none of the safety issues that you have with rotary cutters (who hasn’t at least once cut themselves).
This compact tool is particularly good for accuately cutting wet multilayer fiberglass which has been wetted out between sheets of painters plastic. The small cutting head does not separate the wet layers. After use, the cutting head can be snapped off and cleaned in alcohol. This is a huge improvement over ordinary hand scissors. Large diagonal cuts on dry fiberglass become trivially easy.
