These are fantastic scissors and are really worth the price. I bought two pairs and immediately put two pairs of old scissors in the trash. I love these and highly recommend them. As with any OXO product, these are easy to use if you have issues with your grip.

These scissors cut very well and easily -- no hand cramping or difficulty. the box opener feature is an added plus.

Dual duty scissors are great! I use them to custom fit boxes for shipping different size books and keep them handy for other uses. These are quality scissors that don't hurt my hands when cutting medium weight cardboard. Not having to hunt for a box cutter to open packages received in the mail is an added bonus.

I have used both the OXO combo scissors and the Wescott. I never cut myself using the Wescott, but I did forget occasionally to engage the safety. The blade was small enough I didn't cut myself if it ever engaged (which was twice in three years). I have had the OXO scissors for a month, and I have cut myself twice. The mechanism requires you hold a switch, then squeeze the scissors together to cross the blades. While squeezing the handles firmly together, you have to control this 8" thing and target whatever it is you are cutting. If the package is small and you have to hold it to apply pressure, watch out. I open a lot of small parcels, and this thing is hazardous. The cutting edge is longer than its competitor. The Wescott scissors may have a small blade, but it works fine to get packaging tape. And with it you are only trying to control two or three inches instead of 8. Both are spring safety blades that disengage when not squeezed, but the OXO needs the mechanism re-triggered if you release it. The Wescott will remain active until the safety is flipped. The OXO require two hands to engage, but the Wescott can be easily handled with one hand.

The one-touch box cutting feature on these scissors is great! I just had to move and these scissors made it really easy to get all of my boxes open and unpacked. Blades seem like good quality too, though I haven't owned them for very long, so I can't comment on their quality. Overall, very satisfied.

This design is great with the boxcutter design built in, my family used to use my letter openers to open packages which left them a gummy mess. This design makes it much easier and safer to open packages and also great for all other regular scissor duties.
