HTS 144C7 4.5" Curved Stainless Steel Squeeze Scissors

I purchased these for sewing and embroidery. They are light weight and very sharp. The thin curved edges work perfect for me. I like the fact that they work great in small difficult areas. No complaints at all and the price is awesome as well.

Perfect for cutting unsightly noes hairs. Great for trimming ear hairs.

I wish I'd bought one of these years ago. Picking up scissors seems like a really simple thing, and I didn't realize how much easier having snips would make my [sewing] life. I couldn't make up my mind when I was shopping for them, so I bought two different brands of snips at the same time, figuring I could keep one in my travel kit. I'm posting photos with both pairs. The other pair was two dollars cheaper, but the Hobby Tools pair is MUCH better, as far as I'm concerned. It's really hard to describe, but the Beadalon snips have an uncomfortable sharp-edged feel to them. Not that the edges ARE sharp, it's just the sensation of it being thin, cheap metal. Like I said, it's really hard to explain! The metal of the Hobby Tools snips isn't much thicker, but they feel much better when you pick them up, and the snipping action is nice and crisp and effective. Both pairs worked fine on cotton and polyester thread-- everyday and upholstery-- and on 6-strand embroidery cotton, but the Hobby Tools pair left a neater edge on the embroidery cotton and felt like the proverbial hot knife through butter. The Hobby Tools pair came in a little vinyl bag and the Beadalon came with a rubbery green sleeve for the tip. The Beadalon pair works fine, too, but they're going in the travel kit, so I won't have to use them as often.

I bought a pair of these a few years ago to keep next to my sewing table for thread snipping. They were just fantastic, thin and easy to get into tight spaces, and cut cleanly. After a few years they started to get a bit dull (as one would expect) so I went and ordered a new pair. When they arrived, I tried them out and they were just horrible; wouldn't even cut thread. I thought perhaps I had gotten a dud, so I returned them to Amazon and ordered a new pair. This time they were just as good as the pair I had bought years ago, sharp and able to cut cleanly. So I'll knock a star off for the dud, but eventually I did end up with a wonderful pair of scissors.

Repeat purchase. Great scissors for travel with mini blades. Perfect for grooming.

These are great for snipping the threads in machine embroidery and for cutting up small flowers to make jewelry.

These are horrible. They’re way too big to really get in there and cut the dead skin. It also just didn’t cut well. Theres a huge gap between the blades, so a lot of the dead skin just slips through it.

When I first started embroidering, I would literally get cramps in my fingers as I would trim the threads off of my work. My mom being the great gift giver that she is found these wonderful scissors and bought me a pair. They were a real lifesaver. I love them so much when my daughter bought her monogramming machine. I ordered her this pair, I actually ordered the curved and the straight as she is into fringe embroidery. They are a real saver. FYI, they are razor sharp so please take precautions not to leave them near a small child or an adult that is not looking for sharp scissors when they sit down
