How can you recognise left-handed scissors?
You can recognise left-handed scissors by the fact that their blades are arranged mirror-inverted to those of right-handed scissors. This allows a clear view of the cutting line and prevents the material from slipping.
Why do I need special scissors for left-handers?
Special scissors are necessary for left-handers because they support a natural hand position and movement sequences. Normal scissors are designed for right-handers and can lead to inaccurate cuts and fatigue for left-handers.
Left-handed scissors are ergonomically designed so that the blade arrangement and handles are optimised for the left hand, resulting in a more comfortable and precise cutting experience. This customisation allows left-handed users to enjoy the same benefits and efficiency as right-handed users, without unnecessary strain or pain.
What advantages do left-handed scissors offer when cutting?
Left-handed scissors offer a more precise cutting action as the blades are specifically designed for the left hand. This enables even, precise cuts without unnecessary effort.
How do left-handed scissors differ from right-handed scissors?
The main difference lies in the arrangement of the blades. In left-handed scissors, the upper blades are positioned on the left, whereas in right-handed scissors they are on the right. This ensures a better view of the cutting line and a more ergonomic hand position.
Are there ergonomic left-handed scissors for longer cutting?
Yes, there are ergonomic left-handed scissors that have been specially developed for longer cutting. Models such as the ‘Crane’ handle shape offer a relaxed hand position and reduce fatigue. The ‘SILVER LINE’ and ‘GOLD LINE’ offer high-quality, ergonomic options.
What sizes of left-handed scissors are available?
Left-handed scissors are available in different sizes to meet different needs. At JAGUAR you will find sizes from 5.0 to 6.0 inches, suitable for every hand size and every application.
How exactly are left-handed scissors held?
Left-handed scissors are held in such a way that the thumb is inserted through the upper grip hole and the ring finger or middle finger through the lower grip hole. With proper left-handed scissors, the blades are arranged so that the top blade is on the left and the bottom blade is on the right. This allows left-handers to see the cutting edge and guide the scissors precisely.
How do you cut with left-handed scissors?
To cut with left-handed scissors, follow these steps:
- Grip position: place your thumb in the upper grip hole and your ring finger or middle finger in the lower grip hole.
- Blade guide: The blades should close with the pressure of your thumb and finger.
- Cutting movement: Guide the scissors along the cutting line and squeeze the handles together to close the blades and cut the material.
- Ergonomic posture: Hold the scissors so that the blades are parallel to the cutting line and the hand remains relaxed.
Why are left-handed scissors more expensive than conventional scissors?
Left-handed scissors are often more expensive because they are produced in smaller quantities and require special customisations such as inverted blades and ergonomic handles. The manufacturing costs for these special design features are higher.
What are the advantages of ergonomic left-handed scissors?
Ergonomic left-handed scissors reduce hand fatigue and the risk of muscle strain as they are adapted to the natural movements of the left hand. They offer better comfort and more precise cuts, which is particularly advantageous for longer cutting jobs.
