I love these utility scissors! So much so that I keep a pair in almost every room of the house --two in the kitchen, one or two in the utility and laundry rooms, another one or two in the garage(s), and one in each bathroom for opening different packages or boxes of personal items, etc. They cut well through almost anything that one ordinarily uses in their household. They're solid, easy to use, dependable and they never seem to get dull or break. The handles give a good, solid, very comfortable grip--no pinching the fingers or hands, and much better than most non-utility scissors that so many people use for the wrong things. If you've never had a pair of these, it's time to try them out. They're not expensive, and you just might find that they're so useful and handy that you'll wonder how you ever got along with them!
