Fiskars PowerArc Utility Snips – Heavy-Duty 8-inch Curved-Blade Cutting Shears with Easy Action Handle

PowerArc technology for stronger, more comfortable cuts

Meet the Fiskars PowerArc Utility Snips, an upgrade in leverage, control, and ergonomics designed for demanding projects. The curved blade geometry subtly changes the cutting angle, delivering noticeably more power as you approach the most resistant portion of a cut. The offset, spring-assisted handle opens automatically, allowing you to cut from above or below while keeping your hands clear of the material.

Built with heavy-duty stainless steel blades, these snips resist rust and maintain a steady cutting edge through thick fabrics, vinyl, or craft materials. The Softgrip handle adds comfort and dexterity, reducing fatigue over long sessions. A robust bolted joint and a longer tang contribute to long-lasting durability on the job.
