FAQs

What makes the Excelta Self-Opening Scissors unique?

These scissors feature a self-opening spring mechanism that automatically reopens the blades after each cut. This design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive work and improves overall efficiency. It’s ideal for precision applications where speed and consistency matter.

What materials can these scissors cut effectively?

They are engineered for fine, detailed cutting of soft materials such as wires, tubing, and films. The shear-cut blades provide clean, burr-free edges without crushing or deforming the material. This makes them suitable for electronics, medical, and laboratory environments.

How does the shear-cut mechanism improve performance?

The blades are aligned to pass smoothly over one another, creating a precise shearing motion rather than a simple slice. This results in cleaner, more controlled cuts with less force required. It’s a preferred design for achieving accuracy in small-scale work.

Are these scissors suitable for cleanroom or lab environments?

Yes, they are made from polished, corrosion-resistant stainless steel that meets cleanroom compatibility standards. The smooth finish minimizes particle generation and contamination. They’re trusted by professionals working in controlled or sterile conditions.

How should I care for and maintain these scissors?

After each use, wipe the blades clean with a lint-free cloth and store them in a protective case. Avoid cutting overly hard materials to preserve the shear edge. Light lubrication of the pivot joint can help maintain smooth self-opening action.
