Frequently Asked Questions

Are WISS scissors suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

Absolutely. WISS scissors are specifically designed for professional and industrial applications, featuring hardened steel construction and reinforced pivot points that withstand demanding daily use far better than consumer-grade alternatives.

How do I maintain my WISS scissors?

Keep the blades clean and dry after use, occasionally applying a light machine oil to the pivot point. Avoid cutting materials harder than the intended design specification, and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

What's the difference between WISS aviation snips and regular scissors?

Aviation snips feature compound leverage action and specially shaped jaws designed for cutting sheet metal, whilst regular scissors are optimised for fabrics, paper, and lighter materials. Each WISS tool is engineered for specific applications to deliver optimal performance.
