For those wondering, 3 (American) football fields’ length (not counting the long end zones) is 273 m. Considering A4 paper is 0.21 m wide, that means he made about 1 300 cuts for each pair of scissors, or about 18 200 cuts in total. As for the amount of paper, if he made 1 cm wide cuts (which seems like a reasonable estimate), that means about 29 cuts per sheet, about 45 sheets per pair or about 628 sheets of paper in total.

This was an amazing demonstration of things I already knew, but never saw compared. I used to run the small tools shop at a rental yard. One of my side gigs was a sharpening service (we had all the tools). I sharpened everything from ripping teeth to chainsaws, to handsaws, to cutlery and, yes, shears (or scissors, if you like). There is a lot to them. Shears for paper are much harder material than shears for cloth, and their edges are ground at close to 60 degrees from flat. There is clay in most papers, which acts as an abrasive on a fine edge. Cloth is more fibrous, and doesn't "shear" as cleanly unless the blades ground to around 20 to 30 degrees, like knives. There is a lot more, but too much for a comment. Thank you for the very hard work!

4 years ago I’ve bought my KAI N5210 Dressmaking Shears 20cm on Amazon for 12£. Different model than the one on this video but very similar silhouette and built quality. Very comfortable to use, no painful fingers after use. I’ve been using them nearly every day since I got them, and they are still extremely sharp. From normal paper to cardboard and I even trimmed some smaller, younger bushes in my garden. Still just as sharp as the day I got them. I used to have many headaches because of bad quality random cheap ass scissors but not anymore. Hands down best invested 12£ in my whole adult life xD We are all surrounded with more and more shitty Chinese products and man it feels so good to have at least one amazing tool

I love their pruning hand tools and loopers. When used properly, they last a long time. I frequently will pickup used Fiskars from second hand shops. As long as the action works and nothing is bent, they usually always just need a good sharpening and some oil. Most my Fiskar tools were acquired for under $5 each. Definitely recommend as well.

The interesting thing is that if you also focus on the opposing muscles, as in those which extend the fingers and hand, it will cause a great increase in grip strength as well. That's why people with hand and forearm injuries do finger and hand extension exercises as part of rehab. Most people don't do those exercises and are therefore more prone to injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Okay but sometimes you don't want scissors to be an "investment", just for far less paper cutting than he did. I have maybe 2 pairs of scissors in every room, and a drawer full in the office, and maybe 5 pairs in the kitchen so it's not like a single pair does all the cutting tasks or harder materials, rather just needs to be nearby so I'm not walking far to get them, and then, I don't want hundreds of dollars invested for their purposes. I was even fine with the free Harbor Freight scissors, until the handle broke.

Glad to have seen the Ginghers perform right behind the KAI’s in nearly all tests, the brand I bought 16 years ago. For less than half the price of the KAI, I feel they are the overall best value, though, I had a pair of orange handled Fiskars from the 80’s that I remember worked well, though I feel the quality of the Ginghers are a cut above! ✂️

Fiskars micro tip pruning shears are what I have experience with, and they're *considerably* worse than they were 10 years ago. You used to be able to get many hours of cutting out of them, whether it was thick stems or leaves and they'd cut like they just came out of the package. They were so sharp you'd cut yourself before you realized the blade had touched you when you made a mistake. I bought 2 pair this year and they were both garbage. The "non-stick" coating is a joke and they actually seem to build up gunk faster, they weren't very sharp out of the package, the locking mechanism is really cheap feeling now, and doesn't work well. The handles are more slippery than before. The spring is much weaker, so when they get sticky they refuse to maintain a smooth feeling action. I used to recommend them to everyone, now I warn everybody to stay away. You're better off trying to work with craft scissors. I have not found a comparable replacement.

I have two very BIG pairs of old school orange handle Fiskars, like what you would have found at a sewing shop. One has a Ti coating, they were labeled "shop scissors" on the packaging but were identical to the regular pair I had otherwise. They are super comfy, and smooth, and have held up great. Out in my actual shop I was fortunate enough to have a grandfather and Father that both valued good tools, and so I inherited 3 sizes of the old black handle all steel sheers. They are simply amazing, the steel can be sharpened to split a hair and the adjustment screw allows them to remain pressed tightly to each other. These are the type you put a little oil on to let them operate smoothly and prevent rust, and can dress like fine knives. Like anything, it is the quality of the steel used of course. This was a great video, looked like a lot of work! Your testing method was spot on IMO. Great job!

KAI has about 15 different types of scissors, so when looking for them, you need the part number. I’ve used KAI 7250 scissors for years, cutting dry fiberglass, graphite fabric as well as pre-impregnated fabric. They (KAI) are night and day different than the Wiss seamstress scissors previously used and are a world lighter. The only scissors I’ve ever owned that hold up better are a set of Wiss diamond impregnated fabric scissors, but are only available as a special order. They also cost 3X as much.

@@justinw1765 You are really missing the point. The KAIS if I recall were the heaviest if not one of the heaviest, which means it is less prone to breaking or getting damaged compared to others and more durable. Also the money paid for the KAI would buy itself over. For example if you were to use the KAI for 10 years and it is finally dull and damaged, then that means for the cheaper ones you had to replace them 2-6x in that same time frame. You are paying for quality, durability and longevity with the KAIS. So no it is not a no brainer at all, and there are many professions that need work done with high grade scissors to do their job properly.

I found the sharpness test interesting. Scissors cut by shearing, not wedging like a knife, so I would have liked to see how much force it required to make a slice the length of the scissors through something like cardboard or card stock. I'll bet your wrists were sore after all that cutting! Your sandpaper tests may bust the myth that slicing through a sheet of sandpaper can actually sharpen scissors. But your test was more severe by folding the paper vs. the tips to sharpen cutting a single unfolded sheet. Kitchen scissors are made to cut through bones, so it's nor surprising the Kitchen Aid and Henckels performed reasonably well. Ask any barber about sharpening scissors and they'll tell you it makes a big difference when done correctly. Always sharpen the bevel and not the flat (sides) of the scissors blade. It's OK to remove the burr after sharpening the bevel with a quick swipe on the side. Good scissors can last a lifetime if sharpened periodically.

The sharpness test was completely appropriate. Scissors primarily cut, which is also the most important factor for how well they perform. A very dull pair of scissors will cut poorly no matter how much shear force you apply. If you listen to his comments, each test was consistent with how easily they worked through material. The test set up you describe would most likely provide similar results.

I used to supply a composite manufacturing facility with textile shears. I can personally attest to the quality and longevity of the KAI shears. Cutting fiberglass mats was extremely hard on the edge, usually needing to be touched up at least twice a day. But no other brand could hold a candle to the KAI. We used to use a rough 50 degree on the finger side and like 40-45 on the thumb side. The rough job created “teeth” that hood the mat and the sharp thumb edge would cut easily without the material slipping.

Seeing the westcott scissors brings back so many memories. My grandma had a set of 2 (full size & smaller one) I got the smaller one after her passing. She used them all the time when she made clothes or jean purses.

Thanks a lot, for again an impressive test. I've got the Fiskars scissors and am very happy with them. Last pair lasted for 12 years, and I bought the same ones as tested here last year. They cut well and seem as sturdy as the last pair.

I'm surprised the Milwaukee scissors didn't make it into your mix. Whenever I've looked on Amazon or in a home improvement store for contractor scissors the Milwaukee's are always the #1.

I picked up a pair of these for work (signage industry) and I am actually pretty impressed by them. I ended up deciding to grind off the serrations with a diamond plate on my pair and I am happier with this modification rather than the originals. Makes it easier to glide through stuff.

Seemed like this one was mostly household and fabric scissors with a couple proper shears thrown in. It would be awesome to see a showdown and kitchen and shop shears. I mostly use shears either taking apart poultry or out in the shop. Definitely calls for a different breed of scissors/shears than most of the ones in this video. FWIW I stand by my trusty J. A. Henkels take apart kitchen shears. Less than $20 and they are a joy to use. The worn out pair (lasted 12 years of kitchen abuse) is now my set of shop shears. They blow through thin copper, aluminum screen, wires, boxes, etc all day long without slowing down.

I'm really impressed by the speed in which you edit these videos. Looks like hundreds of clips along with narration and accompanying text must take a lot of time and organization to make these great videos. I like the best and always decide on what to buy based on these reviews. Thanks again

Our shop uses the KAI for leather, upholstery, and composite work and their simply the best we can find. For a pro their a must have. I don’t use scissors quite as much as some of the other guys so I went with Wiss. The Wiss brand seems to hold up well to carbon fiber and fiberglass.

It's very important to know what you're trying to accomplish with the paint sprayer. I'll give you some examples. If you're a homeowner that just wants to paint a room, or an item, or a fence. I would advise the Harbor freight sprayer, as they are comparable to the Graco Magnums, and cheaper. Perfect for homeowner. If you are a beginning paint contractor/remodeler and want something to get your business started, to spray ceilings or rooms or lots of trim for a job. Titan 440 is the best bang for buck(They are about $1000 right now) If you're painter that is looking to upgrade, to begin painting larger jobs, maybe a new apartment complex to redo. I would advise Graco for their larger machines because of the nature of the pump. It has a longer lifespan in between rebuilds that saves your money in the long run.
