I rate them 10 stars if I could
I needed a pair of long scissors, and these just were released so I ordered them. Wow, I was more than impressed. I wasn't sure about the recoil feature, but these are really easy to cut with. I really like the 2 springs to choose from. I am happy with the standard spring, it doesn't make the scissors hard to close. Way better than the Fiskars I had tried before. I also ordered the smaller pair since I liked the large so much.
