Re: Fiberglass Cutting Scissors
Okay, okay, so you like them. Must you ramble on so about their benefits?
I note that that catalog can't help but gush either:
Description: Industrial Right Hand Scissors (<----Full stop)

Re: Fiberglass Cutting Scissors
I cut 8 layers of biax with them and didn't have to put any pressure on them.
The blades are darn near 3/8ths of an inch thick. 12 1/4 inches in overall length, they weigh about a pound of rediculously sharp steel... with a hand hold big enough for my mits.
Cutting length is greater than 6 inches per stroke...
I use a sheet rock square and a sharpie mark to get a straight cut coming off the roll... it takes seconds, and there is no fraying or pulling out of loose fibers.
You need a pair of these, I'm pretty sure that sex has been had that was not nearly as enjoyable as how orgasmic these scissors make cutting fiberglass. (Hey, you asked me to write something poetic, wax on in a way to make their inner beauty shine... grin!)
Cheers,
Zach

Re: Fiberglass Cutting Scissors
Mine came Friday and had a chance to try them out. They are amazing, not sure I'd invoke the 'better than sex' analogy (especially with sharp scissors), but they certainly cut cloth effortlessly and very cleanly.

Re: Fiberglass Cutting Scissors
I've used heavy Wiss scissors, but I'm really enjoying this rotary cutter.

My mother in-law uses them for cutting out quilt patterns. She swears by them.radicalcy wrote:I've used heavy Wiss scissors, but I'm really enjoying this rotary cutter.
