If you struggle with arthritis or other such problems with your hands and you struggle to use scissors, then Fiskars have just what you need. We stock Fiskars Quick Clip which have a spring loaded clip which make them easier to use. These are ideal for unpicking stitches or trimming loose ends. There is then the full size scissors which also have a spring-action so are extremely easy to use as you don't have to struggle to open the scissors once you're using them. These will cut through multiple layers of fabric, paper, cardboard or posterboard.
If your Fiskars do start to blunt (it will take a lot of cutting for years to make them blunt) there are ways around this, you can either invest in a scissor sharpener or scissor tuner. These only work on Fiskars becasue of the angle of the blade so don't try to use them on other scissors.
