 Great Product Aug 26, 2008
By Claudette P. Carter
I had several pairs of dull scissors and didn't know any place I could take them to have them sharpened so I ordered this sharpener. I ran the sharpener over the blades about a dozen times and sure enough the scissors were sharp again.

It's a keeper! Dec 11, 2007
By Efroun
This sharpener works great, just like it's sister product (the knife sharpener) of the same manufacturer. After just a few seconds of sharpening I had my scissors as sharp as a knife! I can cut materials without even closing the scissors! Worth every penny.

 not as good as the knife sharpener Feb 08, 2008
By J. Ross
"lovetocookallthetime"
I found this product much less easy to use and did not do as good a job of putting an edge on scissors and shears. The knife sharpener is great and i take one with me whenever i travel and am without my chef's choice 3 stage sharpener. The scissors sharpener however wasn't nearly as user friendly. It did improve the edge reasonably well after a while.

 Caution: you may ruin your shears Sep 02, 2009
By Jane
"History Buff"
I am soooo disappointed! I'd have given it no stars, but that wasn't an option. These actually made my scissors worse. I sew--everyday, so have a good bit of experience in this area. I was looking for something that would stretch out the lifespan of my multitude of sewing scissors without resorting to the so expensive professional sharpening. I had the small sharpener sold at Joann's for a year of so. That one worked but fell apart eventually. I thought I'd try a new one. The AccuSharp 2 Shear Sharp is so flimsily made I feared it was going to fall apart of this first use. On my larger scissors, it seemed to make gouges. They still cut fabric, but there was certainly no improvement in cutting. When using the Joann's sharpener, I always was pleased with the improvement in cutting after each use.
The design of this sharpener does not allow sharpening of scissors that do not open a great deal. Consequently, many of the sewing scissors, designed for the least amount of hand movement cannot be sharpened with this.
I stupidly continued on with this product hoping that it was just a matter of figuring out how it would best work. (Directions are minimal to say the least.) Now I need to take five pairs of scissors to a professional shop. Hopefully they are not beyond repair. I'd return it, but I need the money I'd spend on shipping to pay to get the scissors fixed.
Save your money. Joann's sharpener is several dollars cheaper, and you will get at least a year out of it.

Not a good product Dec 28, 2009
By carrollk
I purchased this assuming that it would automatically sharpen at the correct angle for scissors. It did not. The sharpening edge must be manually set by sight on the flat edge of scissors.
First pair of scissors I tried it on the flat edge of the scissors to sharpen was so wide that the throat of the sharpener was too narrow to fit in the tool.
The second pair of scissors that I tried had the reverse problem. The flat edge to be sharpened was so narrow that I could not see close enough to set the tool at the correct angle.
Tool proved completely valueless too me. I would give it a "0" if possible
