Electric Scissors With a Spinning Disc for a Blade

Regular scissors make your hand do the cutting, and a stack of flattened boxes is a sore hand by the end. This one puts a motor behind a spinning disc blade that rides over a fixed lower blade: hold the trigger and the lock-out switch together and it runs, and you steer it through the cut instead of squeezing. The listing rates it for paper, fabric, plastic, leather and cardboard up to a quarter inch thick, and it weighs about a pound.

The catch every product here has oneThe risk is a unit that runs once and then will not take a second charge, and a dead one after one job is what the unhappy minority describes. So run it flat and recharge it once in the first week, before you trust it with a project.

Buyers report

Buyers report it cuts cardboard of various thicknesses and is much easier to use than regular scissors, and that it saves significant time; one buyer put a job that takes ninety minutes by hand at five minutes with it. The battery holds a charge for at least an hour of use. The recurring complaint is that some units will not charge for a second use, and durability is mixed, long-lasting for some and broken after a single use for others.
