Large handle scissors
What are large handle scissors?
These scissors have larger, soft grip handles that reduce the strain on your hands and wrists to use them.
Most brands use silicone or similar materials to protect your hands and fingers from the metal so that holding and using them is easier.
Large handle scissors are useful if you like to craft, cook, or garden and have arm, wrist, or finger weakness, arthritis, fatigue, or pain.
