The EOFY Guide to Swivel Scissors

Wrist pain is one of the most common complaints of barbers and stylists. This is usually due to the restricted, repetitive wrist movements that occur when you handle a pair of scissors for long periods of time.

For years, we have known great stylists who were forced to give up their careers due to severe wrist injuries such as carpal syndrome. To address this problem, manufacturers focused on creating ergonomically beneficial designs for their shears.

Swivel scissors are ergonomic shears. Unlike the traditional ones, swivel scissors enable you to rotate the ring where the thumb is inserted, allowing its user to position the shears in different angles while the wrist and elbows are rested in a neutral and natural position.

To further promote the use of ergonomic shears, Scissor Tech has included its best swivel options in our annual End of Financial Year Sale.

Why We Love Swivel Shears?

The swivel enables you to control the shears, instead of the shears controlling you. In doing so, you take a great amount of weight off the wrists, therefore minimizing muscle strain and all other potential health risks.

For those who desire of pursuing a long-term career, we suggest you invest in a good pair of swivel scissors. It not only allows you to perform a wide variety of cuts but more importantly, experiencing less pain and numbness in your wrists will eventually increase your ability to do more work and thus increase output.
