Ordered these Engineer scissors. They just should up. And I used them to cut my leather belt to size. Holy moly…like a hot knife through butter.

Still on sale (sorry forgot to post it two days ago). Lowest price ever according to camelcamelcamel

Nice deal share.

Even though it seems to me that the price of the DW lunchbox planer has generally stayed pretty consistent or maybe even come down a little bit over the last couple of years, I think this is the best deal I've seen considering the listing is for the "x" part number which includes the in/outfeed tables and an extra set of knives. If you've been waiting for the best price on one of these, @eviltwin just gave it to you.

The Engineer scissors are $16.36 again today. Having now received and tested mine, I will say run - don't walk - and get at least one pair for your kit.

The PH-50 are even cheaper, these are smaller and lighter. I recommend the PH-57 for the extra few bucks.

I bought one PH-55 and one PH-57. Both were around $17. The PH-55 was not on sale but looked even heavier duty. I have plenty of regular scissors so I was looking for heavier duty ones.

I got my couple of pair. They feel a bit odd in the hand, I’m not sure how much I like them.

I can see what you mean. I felt the same way (more so actually about my Olfa scissors). It's like they try to avoid favoring a right hand biased grip so I just ends up not being great for either hand.

Or maybe it's that they don't have a top and a bottom? They're completely symmetrical about the longitudinal axis?

My Olfa scissors feel pretty odd in my hands. They’re almost too small.

These Engineers feel really good using them. Probably because I have XL sized hands and the larger openings of these scissors is welcomed.

I received mine yesterday. The first thing I noticed is that they aren't as ergonomic as the Doyle scissors I have next to them in the toolbox. They don't feel the best in the hand. They do cut well, however.

I received a pair of the Engineer scissors today and agree with Madjik Man's assessment. However, I have medium to large hands and find the scissors uncomfortable to use for the same reason the MM finds them comfortable -- the size of the finger openings. You have to push against the outer part of the finger openings to open the scissors and I have to strain to open the scissors enough to use the cutting surface near the pivot point.

I’m returning mine, I much prefer my Crescent Wiss scissors my buddy sent me a couple years back. These feel great in the hand.

I see that the Wiss scissors are spring loaded so that you don't need to work to open them. If the Engineer scissors were spring loaded they would be more comfortable to use, and would likely be getting better reviews here.
