Product Details

These Peta Self-Opening Scissors have been modified to make them easier to use.

They feature one large-loop handle that can accommodate all the fingers, and one open handle.

This means that people who have finger or grip issues can still use the scissors effectively.

After each cut, the Peta Self-Opening Scissors re-open automatically due to a spring mechanism.

The blades are made from durable stainless steel, and there is a safety lock to keep the scissors closed when not in use.

    Easy to use

    Review by G.E Posted on 08/10/2024 14:57:36
    Very easy to cut with. Bit fiddly to lock and unlock so for my mum we just always leave them open.

    Great scissors/shears

    Review by D Walders Posted on 08/10/2024 07:26:18
    This is the second pair of shears I have bought from this superb store. They make it so easy for me to use them with my arthritic hands. Price is very good as is fast postage.

    Great.

    Review by Sara Posted on 07/09/2024 14:53:00
    Yet another pair of these scissors, only because I will keep trimming the stalks of flowers, not a good thing. New ones for best, old ones for stalks. Very easy to use, mine travel on my inside rollator, always with me and forever useful.

    Great to use

    Review by d. walders Posted on 25/04/2024 07:14:11
    Tried these for first time today and they are so comfy to use as normal scissors are very uncomfortable but these cause no discomfort whatsoever. I would wholeheartedly recommend these to all.
