Kai Thread Snips

I like the rubber grip on the scissors. Comfortable to use and very sharp. Work well for snipping threads! Very sturdy construction.

Gifted this to my sister and she loves it

I have several Kai scissors, and love all of them. Was super excited to see they make a snips. I love that after I use the snips, I don't have to pay attention to the way I set the snips back down on my sewing table (not like the Fiskar that has a finger hole on one side). The handle is also nice and grippy.In other reviews, I read that folks had trouble cutting on the first try. This is not an issue for me, as I tend to put thumb pressure on the snips anyway. Also the cover is kind of tricky to put on. I don't use it. When the grands come to visit I put all my scissors on the top shelf in my craft closet.

I bought these for one of my employees who has severe arthritis in her hands and was going to have to quit because she couldn't squeese the cheap $2.00 snips that litter our vinly products sewing shop. She said that these are a God send. I am now ordering 2 more pairs, One just for cutting sticky stuff (1/4" double sided sticky tape) and another for our general finishing table, which is cutting nylon upholstery thread cleanly from our products. As we are all getting older, we felt it would be in everyones best interest to have a better fitting snipper on our work table. I have read some of the poor reviews about this product, but many sewers simply do not take the best care of their snips. They set them beside the sewing machine and they get knocked onto the floor. This is a disaster for scissors. Also, clean your blades constantly. Thread lint is a real issue with snips. TIP - Tie a piece of ribbon through the bottom and tie or tape them to you sewing machine, so as it vibrates as you sew, your scissors won't fall off the table. I never liked wearing them around my neck, but some people do that. Just don't ever drop your scissors. Kai is a wonderful company to work with. PS. - Their 12" shears are the absolute best. They are BUTTER to cut with. My hands never feel fatigued, even while cutting through layers of vinyl or leather.

I thought I had already reviewed this, so I was surprised to see it again.I have several pairs of KAI scissors, and have always been pleased with their quality, sharpness, and ease of use. When I saw these snips, I thought "great", and expected the same quality as the scissors, but I was definitely disappointed. They don't snip easily, they chop the thread and the fabric. After using them for just one day, I decided that I would not use them again. I ended up giving them to someone else. She didn't like the either, and gave them to goodwill. I'll just stick with my Kai scissors.

Had heard that Kai products were awesome and decided to get them as an extra pair for quilt guild. While I love the rubber handle, the snips only work if you torque the handle sides to put pressure on the cutting blades. Aggravating. What’s that saying…You had ONE job to do…Will just buy another pair of trusty Fiskars snips.

These are really good snips - comfortable in use, durable and sharp. Much better than any cheap snips I used to buy in the past. They are definitely worth the money they cost... but if you are willing to spend some more, then Fiskars snips are even better and they are my all time favourite.

These clips are very sharp. I love them and would like to order another pair soon

Very disappointedFor the name brand, l thought it would be great but I was wrong.l actually had trouble cutting threads,from chain sewing.

Buena calidad

I have used these for a few weeks now and I don’t like them. They seem to be sharp but probably 2 out of 3 times I use them, they do not cut the thread first go. I have problems with my hands so I need the scissors (snips) to cut the thread first go. Also the way these Kai scissors are designed the blades easily separate depending on how they are held, and again they then don’t cut the threads. I intend giving mine away and buying one from Gingher. I wanted to try the Kai brand as I had heard good things, but now I think I will stick to Gingher.

Great product

I use an industrial seeing machine at work and use these ships to cut loose threads. Very good to use.
