These cordless electric scissors use a rotary blade driven by a 4V motor and a 3000mAh battery, which is what lets them run continuously through corrugated cardboard rather than requiring the squeeze-and-release of hand shears. There is an LED work light at the head, a safety lock so the blade cannot spin in a drawer, and two blades in the box. They also cut fabric, carpet, plastic, and leather. Best fit: anyone breaking down a constant stream of delivery boxes, crafters cutting long straight runs, and people with hand or wrist pain who cannot use regular scissors for long.

Pros

  • Rotary blade runs continuously instead of the squeeze-and-release of hand scissors
  • Easier on hands and wrists during long cutting sessions than manual shears
  • Safety lock keeps the blade from spinning loose in a drawer
  • Ships with two blades and includes an LED light at the cutting head

Cons

  • It is a 4V tool, so it is built for cardboard, fabric, and leather rather than anything thick or rigid

Frequently asked questions

Will it cut through thick double-wall cardboard?

It handles standard corrugated cardboard well. Very thick double-wall or heavily taped stacks will slow it down, so cut in a single layer where possible.

Is it safe around kids?

It has a safety lock to prevent accidental activation, but it is a powered rotary blade and should be stored and used like any sharp tool, out of reach of children.

Can it cut fabric without fraying it?

Rotary blades give a clean edge on fabric, which is why rotary cutters are standard in quilting. Use a cutting mat underneath for the best results.

How long does the battery last?

The 3000mAh battery is sized for extended sessions rather than a few cuts. Runtime depends on material thickness, with cardboard drawing more power than fabric.
