These scissors offer way more cutting power than just about anyone can muster with muscle alone, and best of all, it's effortless. You can't help but love a product that makes life so much easier, especially for folks who suffer from arthritis.
You can cut nearly anything with these, from delicate pattern paper to sheet vinyl flooring and window screening, with just the press of a button. Our favorite job for these, though, is to easily slice into that impossible-to-open, hard plastic packaging that seems to be on most everything these days. It's no match for these scissors.
When power scissors first came out, there wasn't too much concern about ergonomics, but we know so much more these days about how important that is. Black & Decker's made this power tool a treat for the body to use, with a nice cushy grip, super light weight and no force needed.
One charge will keep you cutting for 70 minutes, and then you just plug it in and charge it again. There's no end to what you can use these power scissors for - gift wrapping, sewing, scrapbooking, decorating, jobs around the house, crafts, clipping coupons. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great product:
I picked up two of these at a Big Lots in Birmingham, Alabama, for 12 bucks each. They were the models that came with the table mounts. I got them with the table mounts since my mom has limited use of one hand, so I figured that the table mounts would help her. I have since found the model that doesn't come with the table mount at Big Lots for a mere 8 dollars each. Regardless of the model, these things work GREAT. They are primarily used for cutting open those stupid plastic clamshell stuff comes in,... more info
Black & Decker Cordless Power Scissors:
Recommend-sew for a living making custom childrens clothing. When I cut out a pattern, I like to cut out 4 at a time, these make my job much easier. They cut well on curves and angles. I would purchase again when the time arises.
Save your money:
The main purpose for these scissors was to open plastic packaging and they are not strong enough to do the job. Even fully charged, they just stall out when you start to make the first cut.
Good for most things, but not what I bought it for:
Like most people that gave it 3 stars, I bought it to open those annoying plastic vaults in which consumer products are entombed -- however they remain impervious to all attempts at cutting.
