After hand surgery that removed the trapezium bone in my right thumb due to Arthritis AND cutting the tendons on my hand to release the Carpel Tunnel. Then removing the ganglion in my wrist and repairing the torn tendons under my thumb, my orthopaedic surgeon said I had the hand of a 75-year-old but I was only 49!!
All this caused by my big heavy scissors I had used every day since I was 18. I thought my career as a designer dressmaker was finished. I couldnt hold, let alone use any of my scissors
The hand therapist suggested I use spring scissors as I recovered. BUT OMG I could only cut 1 layer at a time. They slipped and failed anytime I added a few layers, and the short 8 inch blades were not designed for professional use. I bent pairs, I threw pairs, I searched the internet for a bigger, higher quality and most importantly able to survive the pressures of professional use.
From necessity, the decision was made to venture into developing and manufacturing my ideal cutting solution. Purchasing any and every heavy duty scissor with a spring assist action, we were able to identify the main aspects that are important for the intended use...ALOT!!
The light weight (200gms) design is but strong enough to cut through multiple layers and Im back at work cutting and sewing with ease!
I hope my experience can help you doing what you love or protect an aspiring Maker from these very common and easily avoidable injuries.
