- Are these the same as Milwaukee's offset scissors?
- No. These are straight scissors with in-line blades; the offset version angles the handles for clearance when cutting on a flat surface. Choose straight for general cutting and offset for long cuts along a floor or bench.
- Can the blades be tightened?
- Yes. The Bolt Lock pivot lets you snug the blades back together when the cut starts to feel loose, instead of replacing the tool.
- Will they fit gloved hands?
- The handle loops are sized large for use with work gloves, and the index-finger groove helps keep control.
- What can they cut?
- They handle hose, tubing, wire jacketing, insulation, cardboard and similar job-site material. They are not intended for fine fabric or craft work.
- Do they resist rust?
- The blades and handles are chrome-plated for rust protection, which helps in damp or outdoor use. Dry them after wet jobs.
- Are they worth it over cheap scissors?
- If you cut tough material often and want a pivot you can tighten, the metal build pays off. For light household cutting, ordinary scissors are lighter and easier.
