rnuo2011 Report post Posted August 31, 2015 WBT-1 electric scissors one professionally designed tool for cutting leather ,it is super easy with the right tools. Certain types of cordless scissors resemble traditional scissors and are used the same way, but the added power makes cutting nearly effortless.also WBT-1 electric scissors come in a sleeker design than regular scissors and are often able to be used interchangeably between the right and left hand.

Thor Report post Posted August 31, 2015 Try em with 3mm veg Or 5 mm which many of us are using... If I'd go electrical I'd buy something more heavy duty and professional looking at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dikman Report post Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I have a pair of battery operated scissors (actually, 3 pairs!) and I find them great for cutting material for patches and cleaning swabs for my muzzleloaders. I haven't tried them on leather, but I have grave doubts about them cutting thick veg tan!! While I like this unit that's mentioned, my battery scissors only cost me $5, so unless these are the same price I see no point in buying any more. Edit: I just looked them up on ebay - $260 Australian!!!!!!! I definitely won't be buying any. Edited August 31, 2015 by dikman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dikman Report post Posted September 1, 2015 I searched on ebay - again - and couldn't find them listed at the quoted price, they were all around US $180. (Even at $119, that comes out at Aus $160, at that price I think I'll stick with my manual knives). It may very well be a nice unit, but at that price it falls under "discretionary spending", and is far from necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
