Ever found your hands aching or just lacking that good ol’ grip when slicing through fabric? It’s time to make a swanky change with the Fiskars Softouch Scissors! Even if you’re lucky enough not to experience those pesky hand cramps, this scissor design could be your savior from that sneaky hand fatigue during intense cutting sessions.
Unlike the traditional scissors where you constantly flex your fingers for every snip, the Fiskars Softouch has a nifty trick up its sleeve. Instead of relying on your hand muscles for both actions, it employs a spring mechanism! Simply squeeze to cut, release, and voila, it springs back open! And, hey, when you’re taking a break, the vibrant orange locking lever ensures it stays shut.
What makes it uber-cool is the soft, dreamy rubber handles that feel like a cushiony hug for your hands. And guess what? Their straight design means it’s a match made in heaven for both righties and lefties. Talk about inclusivity!
But Gina, How Do They Perform?
I’m glad you asked! The real essence of any scissor lies in its cutting prowess. So, I took my trusty cotton and muslin fabrics and went on a testing spree. Whether I was doing a long cut from the base or a short precise one from the tip, the results were just impeccable. No fabric left behind!
Although the blades might seem a tad chunky for detailed work, it’s mostly an illusion. Still, for those super intricate appliqué snips, I prefer the smaller Softouch version with a fine point.
So, next time you’re frantically searching for those ever-elusive scissors, remember Fiskars Softouch and treat your hands to some TLC!
