Are Electric Scissors Worth It?

[@hollykarlsen1792]

Thank you for mentioning that it was stressful on your hand to keep squeezing it. That’s what I needed to know!

[@Mellysews]

Glad that part was helpful!

[@carlam.9529]

Several years ago I fell and broke my right elbow in three places. I have not been able to cut out fabric since then. I think these would be wonderful for me.

[@Mellysews]

I hope so! I have also heard of other brands that don't require squeezing like these do.

[@TechTokOffical]

I think u may have found your product. I have some issues with my hand strength so I feel u

[@0103harleyq]

Oh wow, just posted an hour ago. I found a pair of Sears vintage electric scissors and I couldn't help myself and bought it. Still haven't given it the go on my fabric yet but excited to see how it goes

[@Mellysews]

Hope they work well!

[@Scary_asmr101]

This has been a very useful video, thanks so much

[@Mellysews]

Glad it was helpful!

How do they affect the table? If I work on my kitchen table made of not very hard wood and I need self-healing mat for most activities, I would probably need it for these shears too, right?

[@Mellysews]

I couldn't say, my cutting table is pretty scratch resistant.

[@ljprep6250]

Yes, a mat, neoprene, or even some padded shelf liner, which would take away half of the =noise= these devilish scissors make.

[@jenwang7187]

appreciate your demo. i'm still hesitate as I don't like the noise as big pieces to cut for clothings. noisy to me. but I guess comparing with getting sore hands, it's still worth it.

[@Mellysews]

Fair enough!

[@Avotts]

ever thought of using a band saw or scroll saw for hard leather?

[@Mellysews]

I do sometimes, but that's not a tool the average home sewist necessarily has access to.

[@SwimNinaSharae]

How do you turn them on? I have a green light but no vibration

[@Mellysews]

Push the safety button on the back and squeeze the handle.

[@SwimNinaSharae]

@@Mellysews yes! I figured it out after reading the Amazon review. Thank you for responding!!

[@lindakhin7999]

May I know which usb out let should I charge ?

[@Mellysews]

I don't understand your question

[@denialz]

where do you get replacement blades from? only thing keeping me from not buying it right now

[@Mellysews]

I've never purchased replacement blades for any of my scissors. I have them sharpened at a knife sharpener.

[@denialz]

@@Mellysews oh, like a store that sharpens knives or a tool that sharpens, cause I wonder if I can do it with a tool that sharpens knives, thx btw

[@belindasantamore4054]

Thanks

[@Mellysews]

Thanks for watching!

[@Joanacortesart]

I just bought one of this scissors and i have to be pressing that upper button for it to cut is this normal?

[@Mellysews]

It's a safety button. You have to press it when you start the scissors but then you can let it go while you continue to cut. It's to prevent you from cutting something unintentionally.

[@CaleenRizi]

How do you slow it down ? It moves too fast for me

[@Mellysews]

The scissors? These don't have multiple speeds.

[@4x4vania]

Just bought a pair of these for my wife for her birthday. I hope she likes them.

[@Mellysews]

Hope so!

[@osselinfrantzso888]

Too loud

[@Mellysews]

They are definitely loud. I usually wear noise cancelling headphones when I'm using them.
