Utility Scissors

A Pair of Scissors That Won’t Wreck Your Hands

Packing day usually starts with a rummage through the kitchen drawer for a pair of scissors that went blunt years ago. These are stainless steel, so they keep their edge through tape, bubble wrap and thick packaging instead of chewing at it. The blue comfort-grip handles help as well, and you can work with them for an hour without your hand seizing up. There’s a safety lock too, so they stay shut when they’re sitting in a box of packing supplies.

Buying Alongside Tape and Bubble Wrap

These are the sort of thing you reach for while you’re taping up boxes or wrapping something fragile, so they’re worth adding to your basket next to our brown parcel tape and bubble wrap rather than ordering on their own. If you’re already getting one of our kits, like The Fully Loaded, The Mover Kit or The Value Pack, a pair of these covers the odd job a kit doesn’t.

If You’re Storing as Well as Moving

If some of what you’re packing is heading into storage rather than straight to a new address, that’s what we do too. We collect it, look after it, and bring it back when you’re ready. Get an instant quote to see what that would cost alongside your move.

Delivery

Order before 1pm, Monday to Friday, and it arrives the next working day.

FAQ

What’s the safety lock for?

It keeps the blades closed when you’re not using them, so they don’t open up loose in a drawer, a bag or a box of packing supplies.

Are these better than a normal pair of household scissors?

For packing, yes. Stainless steel blades hold their edge through tape and thick cardboard for longer than a general purpose pair, and the comfort-grip handles make a real difference if you’re using them on and off all day.

Do I need scissors as well as a utility knife?

It depends how you like to work. Scissors are easier on bubble wrap and thinner packaging, while a knife is better for cutting boxes down. Plenty of people pack with both to hand.
