Better than office scissors (in my house)
In our house, scissors are generally abused; on a suburban farm, they get "used" for all kinds of cutting, especially the types of things that tend to trash office scissors-- plant stems, irrigation tubing, chicken feathers, plant ties, plastic of various types, shade/cover material, etc.<br /><br />Most of the scissors we've had over the years, even the fancy titanium bonded ones, usually give way (simply due to the design and our use) pretty fast, and quickly become useless for even paper cutting (especially). These medic shears, however, seem to be the solution to our problem. They're MADE to cut through the range of materials we cut through, designed to NOT lose blade "grip" and to keep a good cutting edge (serrated even!).<br /><br />OUr scissors usually end up floating around between the house and the yard, so they often get left outside in rain (told you we abused them!). These can generally handle that abuse much better-- with their coating and die-hard design, they end up still being able to cut-- for much longer than regular scissors. Of course, your results may vary depending on use/abuse. :)
