Scissors Fiskars PowerArc heavy-duty shears 26 cm, ergonomic handle, cutting for tough materials

Fiskars PowerArc heavy-duty shears with a 26 cm blade length are designed for cutting tough materials such as cardboard, fabric and plastic. The shears combine a robust blade geometry with an ergonomic handle to provide increased leverage and reliable cutting performance for workshop, crafting and household tasks that require more force than standard scissors.

Advantages

The PowerArc blade profile delivers a higher cutting power with less force, reducing hand strain during repetitive or demanding cuts. The ergonomic handle conforms to the hand, improving grip and control while allowing efficient transfer of force to the blades. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness for longer when used on heavy-duty materials, and the overall construction is built to withstand regular use in both domestic and workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting corrugated cardboard and packaging materials
• Trimming upholstery, heavy fabrics and canvas
• Cutting plastic sheets, straps and light vinyl
• Hobby and craft projects that involve dense or layered materials

Key specifications

• Blade length: 26 cm
• Blade type: PowerArc curved blade geometry for increased cutting force
• Handle: Ergonomic design for comfortable grip and improved leverage
• Material compatibility: Cardboard, heavy fabrics, plastic, vinyl and similar tough materials
• Construction: Heavy-duty build with hardened cutting edges for durability

How to use

Hold the shears with the ergonomic handle so that your dominant hand rests comfortably and the thumb and fingers align with the grip contours. Position the material between the blades at the desired cutting point and close the shears in a smooth motion, using the handle leverage to complete the cut. For thick or layered materials, feed the material steadily and allow the PowerArc blade geometry to slice with reduced effort. Keep hands clear of the cutting path and do not use the shears to cut hardened metals or materials outside the recommended compatibility range.

Recommendations

Keep blades clean and dry after use. For prolonged sharpness, avoid cutting materials with embedded metal or grit. When storing, keep the shears in a dry place and consider occasional blade lubrication and tightening of pivot screws if applicable to maintain performance.
