Power Scissors! The Most Amazing Scissors You’ll Ever Own!! Tougher than Nails! ….The Last Pair You’ll Ever Have To Buy!!!
Not sold yet? Wait, there’s more! (From their copy:)
It’s hard to believe, but true. The Power Scissors are tough enough to rip through a can and even cut a penny in half easily – they’ll even cut through nails!
So on the Daily Giz Wiz, I put them to the test. I was quite amazed to find they actually did cut through an empty soda can. Of course these days those 12 oz. Aluminum soda cans are so thin you can bend them and tear them. Then it was on to the nail. I picked a thin finishing nail, clamped down on it with the Power Scissors and --- and nothing! The penny? Forget about it! It didn’t even make a mark on the penny. In fact, on closer examination it turns out the nail sure made a mark on the Power Scissors. It blunted the blade and knocked it out of line. Since these scissors are probably 20 years old, I doubt if the guarantee to replace them for free --- well for $2 shipping – is still in effect. $2 then is probably about $6 now, hardly worth it to get another pair of crap scissors in the mail!
