This product is made for exactly what it describes itself as, for use of cutting up bandages and medical tapes. It is capable of cutting small objects such as paper or packaging (I tested it) but that is not its intended use but will do in a pinch. This product is very well made, tatically designed, it has weight to it and enough tension in its arms to really get a good slice into the bandages and to know it wil keep working for a long time. Its made of bonded Titanium which is both tough and durable, with a dark coating on it so you do not have to worry about scratching it up or getting a glare off of it as you work. I bought it for my emergency go-bag and for home medical use. So far, it seems to work very well and I am pleased with this product. I would say most people buying this are either using it for medical uses, either professional or personal. The benefits of this product is having a tough, reliable pair of medical shears when you may need them the most and do not have time or feel like hunting around for a decent pair of scissors. At 7 1/4" in size it will fit most peoples hand comfortably. The bent handle makes it possible to cut on any flat surfaces were regular scissors cannot.The blunt tip is made for cutting material without harming skin.It only weighs 8 ounces so would be easy to carry around. Priced at $6.50 it arrived within a week of my ordering it. The pros of this product are its price, ease of use, light weight, sharp, well cutting edges and ergonomic design. The only con I can think of is it is a bit stiff at first and needs a little bit of use to get it to were it is not making your hand a bit sore using it. In my opinion this product is worth the buy if you are looking for these kinds of medical shears for home or business use. If you just needs paper cutting scissors theses are not for you. But for use for medical issues I think this would be a good investment that will last.

Bought this since I had to be in the Emergency Department. It's sharp and cuts through like butter 10/10 would recommend

I ordered these to safely trim fur on my dogs. I remembered the nursing scissors my mother carried years ago and these are way more substantial. They work for the job, but I was really surprised!

Good tool

My husband found these after several failed attempts at purchasing many different shears for the purpose of cutting raw chicken, twice daily, for our dogs who eat a raw food diet. Many of those shears were very sharp and/or expensive. These are incredibly inexpensive and work like a charm! They hold up well and I have never had a pair fall apart with the repeated use. I only have to replace these about every year and only because they eventually aren't sharp enough anymore (but not due to them falling apart). That's saying a lot with such heavy usage, along with being washed in the dishwasher often. We do not baby these and they go through tough bones, meat, and packages daily.
