Many reviews reflect the plastic handles fall off. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Pass even at this price.

This is normally 97 cents without the cover. I recall with the cover is cheaper than this price.

I've owned them for months and use them daily. They are excellent. Nice large handles and they cut through everything I've sent at them, which is a bunch.

I got 3 of this shear and it is an awesome for $1. I used it to cut everything from vegetables to meats without issue.

Cool. These look better than some scissors I got recently from SD. Some of them don't have that plastic piece when the handles close. That's when your fingers get pinched. This one has that thankfully. Also the app kept forcing me into pickup or delivery for some reason. I had to delete my cart several times even after choosing shipping

Good find. I bet that section with the serrations on the bevel helps hold things that want to slip out.

I'm mildly interested in something spring-loaded in this value bracket. Spring-loaded shears drive me nuts except when they actually come in handy, and half of one of our handles snapped off last fall.

I have these and use them all the time for cutting things that I don't care if the blades get dull but they never seem to.

I bought some mainstays kitchen shears a couple of months ago. They are already falling apart and are not worth it.

Definitely good for the money! I've had them for months and although not super heavy duty, they still work really well.

I got this years ago for 88 cents.. it's not used too often but for the price it's really good!
Just make sure to dry them well after washing.
