Questions & Answers

Why does the ad for scissors have a photo of a right hand when scissors are marketed for left-handers?

We need to make sure the advertising is corrected to ensure left-handed scissors are available. Please let me know to which ad you are referring so we can make necessary changes.

What kind of kitchen do you have? What are the pros and cons of using it?

When it comes to cutting chicken, I would purchase kitchen shears. These knives have thicker blades, sometimes with serrated blades, and they can sometimes be disassembled for I wouldn't use these for cutting poultry, but these scissors are great.

Is this something that cuts paper and wrapping paper, or is it intended for heavy duty use such as cutting ?

With its heavy duty carbo-titanium 8" straight scissor, the Westcott 16935 Lefty can cut paper and cardboard with ease.

There are too many restrictions, and using them is very difficult. What should I do with the screw? Should I unscrew it or should I oil it?

Most likely, they are factory-preset, which means the close force is set to a standard value, and the pull force is set to the same value. It will be easy to loosen the screw gradually as you get comfortable with it and confident it is suitable for you. Thank you for your help.

Stainless steel lefties with a smooth finish
5/5

I am amazed by the quality of these scissors. In the event you are left-handed and are unsure about buying left handed scissors since you think these scissors have no special qualities, are not worth the money, or could be considered I would suggest thinking back on all the years you have used the wrong scissors before investing in a high-quality pair of scissors that has been uniquely crafted You may not know that left handed scissors and right handed scissors are different, so take a moment to learn about how they differ and why it is so important to use the correct scissors. Approximately 15 years ago, I became aware of left handed fabric scissors when I began sewing as a hobby. I had no idea how hard I was working to cut fabric, paper, and other things with a right handed pair of scissors before I started using them. Then, just like a week ago, I decided I needed other lefties, basically because I have one pair dedicated to fabric and a pair dedicated to paper and cardboard. The Westcott scissors were the best pair I found on Amazon after searching for the best heavy duty scissors. On receiving them, I tried them on cardboard, and they cut it like butter, without giving me an achey hand or a red thumb because I raised my hand My first try with thick leather was so smooth, it cut very well! How can I be so excited about a pair of scissors? I am so impressed! Lefties and southpaws, go!.

Leftists are not to be forgotten! There are times when I do not realize we have a left-handed system Recently, I watched him humorously try to use the left-hand in the house and I was thinking, "Wow, he really is a left-hander!" After using the left hand version of these scissors upside down to cut open a bag and then ripping it open and having its contents spill all over the place I realized I did not give him the item he requested
5/5

It is true that these are for lefties only While some people explicitly state that they are for left-handed or hint that they are left-handed, others subconsciously do so There are people who think they are hand-held, but they are not. There was an advertisement for a pair that claimed to fit both left and right hands, but when someone asked them if they really fit left hands, I realized they were not Responses ranged from "No, not really" to "I don't think so. ". It's my fault. I think it's time to put an end to truth in advertising. You can rest assured these are durable, easy to clean, and designed for all the southpaws out there, as I have one in my family.

A nice weight, great feeling in the hand, nice weight, not too heavy
5/5

I love how solid they feel in my hand. So far, the cuts have been good. In the event that they last as long as my other Westcotts and possess the same non-deteriorating properties The more properties that stick to the ground, the better. I'll update if they do not. I don't know why left-handed people do this It's so frustrating for those of us with left-handed hands to find scissors are so much more expensive.

My husband and I like the way they cut like a knife
5/5

They cut very well indeed, like a sharp knife. I bought orange handled "Left Handed" scissors from a well-known manufacturer and struggled to use Initially, I assumed that I had just learned to cut 'righty', but after becoming impatient with the difficulties, I noticed that the handles of these scissors fit the left hand only, but more importantly, However, the Westcott scissors are made correctly, as well as being an experience every time that I cut with them. This makes me want to write a review, so here I am. The only reason for the four star rating is that I have fairly large hands, which is not their fault. am sure that the Right Hand version is just as good to cut with as well.

A very comfortable chair
5/5

Due to my ambidextrous nature, I often find it hard to cut with my left hand in places I usually use my right hand. I prefer cooking with my left hand during the day rather than across my belly. These were the only left-handed scissors I could find so I bought them. My left hand is very comfortable with these gloves and they are very easy to work with. For my left hand I used my Cricut to label the items so as not to get them mixed up with my other right-hand items The right-handed The products I needed were precisely what I was searching.

I love these scissors because they are lefty-friendly! A pair of Left-handed socks recently came into my possession I only used Lefty's Titanium General Purpose Scissors for this project, and I gave them a one-star review I gave it a 4-star review - they do not belong to the left Their blades state that they are stainless steel, not titanium (hands say they are titanium! It was disappointing to receive this for a crappy product
5/5

However, I am extremely proud that they still came the next day. It is titanium, and it is left handed. The test will be whether they hold up long enough. Many thanks for your help. The product is good I received my order quickly. I strongly recommend it.

This is an excellent choice It is a pleasure to have these scissors in my hands
5/5

Although I am ambidextrous, I recently broke my right wrist. Regular scissors didn't work, and I was looking for any help I could find to learn how to use two hands. Although I am healing and am hoping to be back to normal soon, I find these scissors to be incredibly sharp, comfortable, and great for left handed users. As for the purchase, I am satisfied and do not have any complaints. These are the best left-handed computers I have ever used!.

A real Left handed pair of There are a limited number of really good left handed dressmaking shears available
5/5

It is easy to cut fabrics with these scissors. The RCs don't seem to be intended for that purpose, but in my experience they are very good for it. These are cleanly cut and well shaped. It's a great deal all around. I really like the handles, they're quite comfortable.
