Quality control issues aside, two main problems:
- There's a really nasty pinch point right around where the base of your index finger sits when using these. Got a pretty bad blood blister cutting something tough one time.
- The locking mechanism is designed poorly too - it tends pop itself open if you set it down on a flat surface (if you're right handed, this is the side you naturally put it down on)
They make much better heavy-duty scissors, like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5M4SWDbut i also like using a set of fiskars pruning snips too, they just aren't as strong, so i like using those for trimming labels and light heatshrink and tapes and these ones for cutting larger 4:1 heat shrink and junk.
pretty specific use case though. The rounded tips are nice for not jabbing yourself with, but annoying when you want to do fine work sometimes and you're like gahhhhhhhh.
have a great day if you read through the ramblings
