Schmith workshop scissors - for precision cutting of materials
Workshop sc issors are precision tools, designed to cut through a variety of materials, such as film, hard cardboard, fabric, wire or thin wires, just like clippers. Workshop scissors, unlike office scissors, have reinforced blades, usually made of hardened stainless steel or tool steel, and larger handles, allowing them to be operated even with work gloves.
The use of scissors is very wide, they are commonly used in automotive workshops - for cutting wire insulation, rubber hoses, mounting and safety tapes, in electrical engineering - for cutting cables, removing insulation and cutting heat shrink sleeves, in other industries - for cutting carpets, cables, nets, upholstery, leather, foil, and various types of finishing materials. Workshop scissors are also increasingly popular in the construction industry, due to their ability to quickly and accurately cut through vapor barrier films, roofing membranes and other technical materials.
Types and types of workshop scissors
Different types of workshop scissors were created due to the wide range of industries and jobs in which they are used. The most popular and widely used types are:
- Universal workshop scissors - this is the most common type of scissors. They are characterized by a universal design, so they are used in many jobs, when cutting through not too hard materials, such as thin plastics, tape or technical fabrics. Universal scissors most often have straight blades, sharpened at the ends.
- Workshop scissors for fabrics - blades designed for cutting fabrics and technical fabrics are specially ground, so they allow precise and clean cutting of materials such as felts, upholstery fabrics, carpets or non-woven fabrics and soundproofing mats. Some fabric workshop scissors have blades that are serrated on one side to prevent the material from slipping off the blade surface.
- Multifunctionalworkshop scissors - multifunctional scissors usually have additional enhancements, such as serrated blades or a blade, a wire stripper integrated into the blades, or an integrated wire cutter. Multifunction scissors are great for do-it-yourselfers and assemblers, as they save space by combining the features of several tools in one item.
- Scissors for electricians - similar to screwdrivers or pliers designed for electricians, scissors are also equipped with a handle covered with additional insulation to protect the user from electric shock. Tools of this type are characterized by short, thick blades with rounded ends, as well as an integrated wire stripper.
What to pay attention to when choosing workshop scissors?
When choosing scissors for work, it is worth paying attention to their features and parameters, which will determine the suitability of these tools, when performing certain jobs. The most important parameters to pay attention to are:
- Blade material - as with other cutting tools, the blade should be made of high-quality hardened steel or tool steel. These materials are characterized by resistance to corrosion, as well as high hardness, so they remain sharp for a long time and are resistant to deformation.
- Type of blade - the shape of the blade of scissors is defined by their purpose. Depending on the type, scissors can have straight blades, serrated blades or blades equipped with additional functions, such as an insulation stripper or wire cutter.
- Handle shape - an ergonomically shaped handle has a positive effect on working comfort and minimizes hand fatigue. Scissors most often have handles covered with rubber or non-slip plastic, which helps to maintain a firm grip on the tool.
- The type of connection between the blades and the handle - good workshop scissors are equipped with an adjustable screw, connecting the blades to the handle, which allows you to adjust the pressure of the individual blades against each other. An alternative solution to the screw is a rivet, which provides a permanent, strong connection without the ability to adjust the pressure of the blades.
