Anyone who enjoys tailoring – whether professionally or in their leisure time – needs the right tools. Of course, the scissors immediately come to mind. After all, they are indispensable for the corresponding activities. The question arises whether it should be smooth or serrated scissors. With the latter you can, for example, conjure up decorative cuts. J Teng also has such a model, which we will now take a closer look at.
How is the equipment?
Tailoring work – also as a hobby – usually takes a little longer and therefore comfortable handles are not wrong. According to the supplier, this model should have such handles – they are made of soft rubber. The blades are made of special stainless steel and are connected by a ball bearing. The teeth of the scissors are 2 mm long. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
This pinking shear from J Teng certainly has its followers, as can be seen from the reviews by customers at Amazon. After all, it gets four or five stars from 70 percent of customers. But there are apparently also more critical users – that is 20 percent. They only give the scissors one or two stars. These unfavourable ratings all relate to the perceived sluggishness of the scissors. However, this is already a characteristic of serrated scissors. They are undoubtedly more sluggish than normal tailor’s shears – this is due to their configuration with the serrations. Users who know this, therefore, find these scissors rather smooth-running in comparison with other pinking shears. This is obviously a question of experience. However, in terms of cutting quality, the scissors are considered a good product by almost all users commenting on Amazon. The cuts are regarded as exact and the movement of the scissors should not fluctuate but always go in the desired direction. Hooks and rasps should not pass during cutting. We award 3.5 of 5 stars.
