Are Electric Scissors Worth It?

Do electric shears work better to cut multiple layers of fabric, thick materials, or for hand pain? I compare them to traditional scissors in this post and share my opinions. More details in this post ↓

Thank you for mentioning that it was stressful on your hand to keep squeezing it. That’s what I needed to know!

[@Mellysews]

Glad that part was helpful!

[@carlam.9529]

Several years ago I fell and broke my right elbow in three places. I have not been able to cut out fabric since then. I think these would be wonderful for me.

[@Mellysews]

I hope so! I have also heard of other brands that don't require squeezing like these do.

[@TechTokOffical]

I think u may have found your product. I have some issues with my hand strength so I feel u

[@0103harleyq]

Oh wow, just posted an hour ago. I found a pair of Sears vintage electric scissors and I couldn't help myself and bought it. Still haven't given it the go on my fabric yet but excited to see how it goes

[@Mellysews]

Hope they work well!

This has been a very useful video, thanks so much

How do they affect the table? If I work on my kitchen table made of not very hard wood and I need self-healing mat for most activities, I would probably need it for these shears too, right?

[@Mellysews]

I couldn't say, my cutting table is pretty scratch resistant.

[@ljprep6250]

Yes, a mat, neoprene, or even some padded shelf liner, which would take away half of the =noise= these devilish scissors make.

Did you try the "D" blade on the thickest leather to see if it actually cuts better? I think it might because it uses a slightly different cutting angle.

[@Mellysews]

Yes, I tried both. The D blade did not cut leather better.

[@nefariumxxx]

@@Mellysews OK thank you for the update.

[@denialz]

where do you get replacement blades from? only thing keeping me from not buying it right now

[@Mellysews]

I've never purchased replacement blades for any of my scissors. I have them sharpened at a knife sharpener.

[@denialz]

@@Mellysews oh, like a store that sharpens knives or a tool that sharpens, cause I wonder if I can do it with a tool that sharpens knives, thx btw

[@belindasantamore4054]

Thanks

[@Mellysews]

Thanks for watching!

[@Joanacortesart]

I just bought one of this scissors and i have to be pressing that upper button for it to cut is this normal?

[@Mellysews]

It's a safety button. You have to press it when you start the scissors but then you can let it go while you continue to cut. It's to prevent you from cutting something unintentionally.

[@NinaSharae]

How do you turn them on? I have a green light but no vibration

[@Mellysews]

Push the safety button on the back and squeeze the handle.

[@NinaSharae]

@@Mellysews yes! I figured it out after reading the Amazon review. Thank you for responding!!

[@CaleenRizi]

How do you slow it down ? It moves too fast for me

[@Mellysews]

The scissors? These don't have multiple speeds.
