Thanks for the review. I see several problems with those shears and will avoid them based on your very helpful demo.

[@jayfisk2728]

Having a decent pair of scissors in the kitchen is useful for those insanely hard-to-open plastic clam shell packaging from Costco. I think I used them once for poultry - A sharp knife does just as well =D

[@BeatTheBush]

They have those angled scissors specially made for removing clam shell plastic. Have you tried those? It works amazingly well due to the leverage. But then we don't really need another pair of specialized scissors cluttering our drawers if you can do it just find with a regular pair. =D

[@jayfisk2728]

I like the industrial scissors at HD made by Wiss - Nothing fancy but they will cut most anything. Less than $10 and last forever. Never tried the clam shell openers but yeah, drawers full of specialized stuff just happens =D

[@pgpagaia]

Thats a cheap pair from ikea. I dont get the people saying they dont need them. Doing what you show in the video with a knife is very impractical.

[@unogazzy84]

Those seem like really bad shears. They need to be sharper.

[@BeatTheBush]

They also need have better handles.

[@johnvanegmond1812]

Thanks for the review. I found it helpful. I'm going to stay with my knives. Given a choice between these shears or an axe, I'd choose an axe. :)

[@vincentlewey657]

A good pair of kitchen shears is a far better tool. I tried poultry shears to cut a batch of wings and the poultry shears made it a very tedious process because of the built "hook". To cut the skin cleanly you have to position the chicken in the scissors in front of the "hook". The scissors were nice and sharp off the shelf but were poorly suited for the job.

[@xlasvegan7x]

I bought a pair...didn't like them very much because of the mediocre cutting performance..just a regular pair of all purpose scissors ( less expensive and cut pretty much everything)gave me far better results.

[@BeatTheBush]

I tend to agree. The spring loaded part does make certain operations faster though. I think this is only if you want to cut through small bones but that might be unnecessary if you know how to cut the chicken without cutting through bones.

[@cs512tr]

definite tearing of the skin and some meat, not the cleanest cuts as the blades appear to 'separate' creating a gap between the shear blades. personally id rather use a sharp chefs/boning knife, but otherwise great review and appreciate the insight

[@PeanutButter-19]

$4 ??? Oh, seven years ago.

[@Realdavidart]

Those are PoS poultry shears. My Premax Italian shears can cut a chicken leg as easily as a cleaver. Don't use toys for your reviews. Get real products.

[@BeatTheBush]

They are a bit rough on the handle too.

[@oneeyedtoad09]

Dont need scissors to cut a chicken, the knife will do all the work in seconds.

[@DuploBone]

2:44 Four dollars for half of a chicken breast? That seems like too steep of an estimation, mate. 😆 Chicken breast is one of the most affordable cuts of meat at usually about $3 per pound on average- if you're buying smart.

[@BeatTheBush]

Depends how large the chicken breast is. If it's 1lb, $3.99/lb is pretty reasonable in California. It's usually more like $8/lb for buying breast alone.

[@user-sw5tl9xg7p]

Its only 4 dolar for a whole chicken here...that were. 2 kg of chicken ...mate... U can ate eveything... And still healty same as u are....

[@Nick-gi6ym]

Seems like they are not that good for more than one chicken 🐔 thank you

[@angrysalamanders]

never seen such disrespect for a chicken

[@chrishunter1555]

Yah , this guy is a crackhead.

[@alfredoyokokura6620]

Did you ever figure out how to take them apart?

[@richiesd1]

Harbor Freight has free scissors coupon. Good sharp knife is fine. Look at how they do it at the Chinese store, like Sam Woo restaurants.

[@BeatTheBush]

Purchase required or free free? In any case, most people have plenty of scissors laying around. I think maybe a knife is sufficient for my go to since the handles in these were not that comfortable for me.

[@richiesd1]

BeatTheBush. Scissors are free with coupon and purchase at Harbor Freight. I always need some things.

[@BeatTheBush]

Oh yes, with purchase. I'm slightly weary of touching food items with anything from there though.

[@mikes1457]

BeatTheBush it's all steel and plastic...scrubbing the free ones in the kitchen sink yields as a clean a product as the expensive set you'll find in cutco's catalog. or anywhere else, for that matter.

[@c_farther5208]

Great review. I think I want more. Did you ever make a video on clever-butcher knives?

[@csufjeff]

Many knives and tools need some handle shaping. With a little work you will make each tool personalized for yourself.....Cheers Jeff

[@BeatTheBush]

You are right! Maybe I should take a file to it but then I am skeptical with the blade quality here, I just go and use a knife to do all the same things.

[@O.G.Alphaborn]

SHears are not very good.

[@Walterwhite-oh9jp]

Imma get this for Rick tragers birthday! :D

[@BeatTheBush]

=D

[@Toolooa]

Can you try it on fish?

[@BeatTheBush]

Nope. I don't even know where these went. The edges are too square and uncomfortable to hold.

[@antidotetp7813]

There sharp ?

[@BeatTheBush]

So so but it wasn't comfortable to hold.

[@what9443]

Good review and demonstration. I have shears that I bought about 10 years ago, but never opened because I didn't really know how to use them. I will try them soon, but I know a good, sharp knife also gets the job done.

[@BeatTheBush]

If it has a good round handle it would be useful. This pair I reviewed has handles that had square edges which isn't comfortable.

[@alentrevor]

You didn't know how or try to use them.? You sure.

[@PROSKOVJAK]

THE POULTRY SHEARS ARE FOR FULL COOKED POULTRY!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@BeatTheBush]

Oh well right? Just don't mix the two.

[@sockdolager3884]

WRONG. they can cut cooked poultry but they are designed for raw poultry.

[@rickwells9929]

That’s a cheap pair

[@rickwells9929]

😊it works
