ENGINEER Compact Heavy Duty Scissors PH-55 Tetsuwan GT 160mm - Precision Multi-Purpose Shears for Wire, Plastic, Rope & DIY - with Protective Cap - Made in Japan

Very sharp. Very strong.I replaced the cheap junk shears in my FAK after discovering how useless they were, whilst trying to cut someone's long-haired dog free from brambles. This is not the situation you want to be in when you find out that your kit is junk.These replacements really are worth the money. The blade protection fits with a nice click and enough force so it doesn't fall off. The grips are sturdy and allow you to apply a lot of force - useful if you need to cut through brambles as thick as your thumb, or boot leather or very heavy cordura. Obviously there is no "guard" as with first aid snips, so caution needed if cutting tight clothing away from skin, and especially since the one scissor blade is semi-sharpened on the outside - good for splitting parcel tape - but so is a key.The serrations at the inside of the scissors work well to grip the thing being cut, so the force is applied directly to cutting, rather than the item sliding forwards out of the jaws as would be the case if there were no serrations. Great quality.

I love these scissors!! They'll cut through thin aluminium sheet in a pinch but will damaged the teeth a little.Will cut through anything softer with ease - including copper cables and heavy fabric. They're good for wire stripping, opening boxes and cutting zip ties. The sheath has a very satisfying click so they're easy to carry around. Finger holes are plenty big enough for any size hand.They're so good I bought a second pair and carry them with me daily.For £16 you can't go wrong with these. They're cheaper than the Klein ones!

Bought these specifically for installing a new bathroom extractor fan and insulated ducting. Overall, I’m very happy with them. I’ve had a solder sucker from Engineer before and that was incredible, so I was already impressed with the brand.The scissors were great for cutting through the insulated ducting itself, right up until I needed to cut the metal wire running through it. The scissors did manage to get through it with quite a bit of force, but unfortunately the dedicated cutter between the handles didn’t do very well at all. It seemed to jump sideways off the wire rather than actually cutting through it.I also tried them on 4-core 1.5 mm² cable and they got through that with a decent squeeze. I gave them quite a bit of force and some fairly rough use during the job and they held up really well. Another small positive is that I didn’t manage to pinch any skin on my hands, which I’ve annoyingly done with other compact scissors before 😅. They grip nicely and are comfortable to use.The handles initially feel like fairly cheap plastic, but they’re actually surprisingly solid and tough.One thing they failed miserably at was cutting duct tape! It was honestly much easier just to rip the tape by hand.Overall, very good compact scissors and they feel like they’ll last. I’d happily recommend them, but I wouldn’t rely on the built-in cutter for tougher metal wire.

A great product well worth the money.

Very sharp, comfortable and high quality.

Absolutely Nothing to dislike at allPractical scissors with 14 different uses that I've found so far.The capacities and options are clearly stated in the packaging ,with photos and description in Japanese & English.It has, to mention just a few positive features ;virtually indestructible handles, multiple gripping options, blade edges& hardness value etched onto the face of the shears etc . etc. the list goes on.I have previously bought 3 others for myself and family members.The ease of cutting hard plastics,thick cardboard etc is very satisfyingAs someone with industrial guillotine technicaI expertise, I can fully appreciate this product.Highly recommended, please check product is the suitablefor your own requirements, this one is heavier duty than e.g. kitchen scissors

Absolutely fantastic pair of scissors for the toolbox where the wife can’t see it. Super edge on the blades and useful extra functions included. This is going to be used only for lab/electronics use. If I leave it out it will end up in the dishwasher!

Excellent, pity they're not made in a bigger pair too.FINALLY a pair of scissors that works.

Excellent scissors but be aware they are quite small. If you are expecting a full size pair these are not those. Everything else work great, the box cutter grind on top. The serrated part of the blade is excellent and I like how easy it is to cut with the ends as well.

Light weight, ergonomic, cool design with practical purpose (grip), not expensive compared to leatherman raptop, very sharp and able to cut thick items. It is compact to fit into my Maxpedition Fatty Organiser as one of the First Aid kits. I prefer scissors with 2 equal big semi circle handle rather than those with 1 big and 1 small handle type. You cannot ask for a better one, this is one of the best in the market and probably the best (of its size) in the market.

Produto espetacular.

Un ciseau multifonction qui semble bien construit et solide mais à voir à l'usage. De taille relativement compacte, il est facilement transportable grace a son étui qui protège les lames et offre une bonne rétention (pour le moment). Il n'y a aucun jeu entre le pièces les différentes pièces assemblées, le tranchant est bon, l'ergonomie et le confort sont surtout affaire de ressenti personnel ; personnellement cela me convient. En effet, ciseau peut être tenu de manière ordinaire pour toutes les coupes classiques ou à pleine main pour les coupes de matériaux plus durs. De plus, les poignées sont équipées d'une sorte de capot de part et d'autre afin d'éviter de se pincer lors des phases de coupes appuyées à deux mains. Seul réel doute, la partie inférieur de la lame permettant d'ouvrir des paquets ; celle-ci n'est pas spécialement tranchante. Bref, content de cet achat à voir avec le temps et à l'usage...
