These are strong, sharp and comfortable to use. Much more comfortable than other similar priced electricians scissors. The very small serrations on one blade hold the work well. There is no risk of a piece of hard plastic or thin metal sliding forward.The steel goes right into the handles. The plastic is just a coating - unlike many plastic handled easily broken scissors. Time will tell how they hold up to use. There is a screw & nut hinge so sharpening & adjustment should be possible. I have not tried any adjustment as they are spot on from the box. The bright handles make them easy to find. The 'convenient' pouch is definitely not convenient. You have a real struggle to get the scissors out. Still there is no risk of them falling out. Perhaps it should be called a safety holder.
