Amazon.com Product Review:
These scissors offer way more cutting power than just about anyone can muster with muscle alone, and best of all, it’s effortless. You can’t help but love a product that makes life so much easier, especially for folks who suffer from arthritis.

You can cut nearly anything with these, from delicate pattern paper to sheet vinyl flooring and window screening, with just the press of a button. Our favorite job for these, though, is to easily slice into that impossible-to-open, hard plastic packaging that seems to be on most everything these days. It’s no match for these scissors.

When power scissors first came out, there wasn’t too much concern about ergonomics, but we know so much more these days about how important that is. Black & Decker’s made this power tool a treat for the body to use, with a nice cushy grip, super light weight and no force needed.

One charge will keep you cutting for 70 minutes, and then you just plug it in and charge it again. There’s no end to what you can use these power scissors for – gift wrapping, sewing, scrapbooking, decorating, jobs around the house, crafts, clipping coupons. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Content: We used the B&D power scissors numerous times on Christmas. The scissors ripped through the blister packages with no problem (except when the charge was low). Saved us alot of anguish opening packages. Very useful and a good value. Highly recommended.

Content: The power scissors were a Christmas gift to my wife. Now, normally, such a gadget would get a cold shoulder (isn't diamonds). But in this case, my wife LOVED the functionality and how handy they were to cut all kinds of materials. Whether it's sewing, wrapping gifts or cutting cardboard, the scissors performed as advertised.
Summary: Wife Pleaser

Content: This item was purchased to assist with Christmas wrapping. I gave it a work out this past week, and it delivered as promised. I went thru about a dozen large rolls of wrap, and 5 spools of tape, all one a single charge! Granted, cutting wrapping paper should not be a daunting task, but this item clarly saved me much time and effort.

I also opened several blister packs. This proved challenging, but with minimal effort, I did get the hang of it. Cutting into cardboard boxes (many from Amazon) was not difficult.

Finally, I dropped the item a couple of times. However, is was not affected by my clumsiness. This is well worth the price (under $15), even if you use it only occasionally.

Summary: solid and long-lasting
