I have now had 2 pairs break while i was using them, i suppose it is because i use them so much and they get weak. So last night i had to order another pair from Joanna's shop so i have got a spair pair. Does anyone know why the one's Joanna sells have a screw on the side of them? Love and best wishes Andrewxxx

You're just a super-duper crafter who obviously uses his snips to breaking point!! Love Jill x

I'm not totally sure but I think the little wheel is for tightening the snips so they don't open as far. Maybe someone knows different. I wouldn't be without mine, but mine doesn't have the little wheel. Trouty x (Jean)

Never used them, is the technique the same as with scissors are is it different. I've never seen anybody use a pair, so any advice greatly received. love and hugs take care Teejay x

Never tried them on parchment/ vellum work, don't see why they wouldn't work the same...something else to try out

I went to buy another pair and the shop owner replaced the broken ones for me with some lovely ones that have a curved end. I don't think she stocks the original sort anymore as they were not as good as the ones I have now. Beryl xx

I now use a tiny pair of scissors that I bought from Superdrugs - very cheap and excellent cutters. Sue xx
