Don't screw with the screw. Must know for manicure scissors

This was a very good video explaining how small/manicure scissors are designed. The test method was particularly helpful. Thank you!

Terrible advice from someone who sells fancy scissors... Feel free to screw with your screws; it works really well.

That's great but I have purchased a few cuticle scissors from Zamberg, and the screw does loosen overtime, so I have to buy a new pair every other year or so.

I have had my Wiss scissors for about 50 years. I sharpened them and they still don’t work. They have the screw which I tightened as much as I could, but it doesn’t bring them together to cut anything. I ask one man who posted sharpening scissors. His comment was: “Eventually if you sharpen them enough there is not enough material to bring them together. In that case you have to bend the tines a bit toward each other. Usually you clamp it in a vice and gently bend it back so the two blades push toward each other slightly. That is common problem for ones that have been sharpened a few times.” After watching your video it doesn’t look like my scissors can be fixed, right?😥

I don’t believe in the unfixable. Thread locker compound works very nicely to set the screw at the correct tension.

Do you have any advice on cleaning manicure tools at home?

The specificity of my search results is astounding. Thank goodness for the internet! I have amazing cuticle scissors that I purchase overseas, there's a specific brand that is always the sharpest and best-crafted for the job. However, over the years of use they've gotten loose, and I don't have a chance to visit anytime soon. Is it an absolutely terrible idea to tighten them on my own until I find a better pair at least?
