5 Stars
Quality cutters, the grips are comfortable & grip well. I love the size.
I have nothing bad to say about these. I needed a set of side cutters robust enough to cut plastic straps but under 7" so TSA will let them in a carry-on bag. The molded plastic handles wouldn't have been my first choice but they are very comfortable & more grippy than I expected from the pictures.The action is very smooth & not at all sticky or loose. The working ends were actually sharp enough for me to re-sharpen a pencil which was nice since TSA won't let me carry a small knife.
