Delemont scissors question

[z1913]

I just got brand new Evo14. All seems fine except the fact that the scissors stay closed when fully closed - they do not spring back (please see picture).
These are my first wenger style scissors so I do not know if this is normal or there is something wrong with the spring.

When only partially closed they reopen.

Thanks for your advice!

This is not normal; there is something wrong.

Probably just some lubrication needed. Try adding a drop of oil to the pivot and working it a bit.

If they are gummed up, use some rubbing alcohol and try to work some into the joint. They don’t open as wide as the Vic scissors so it’s a little tricky.

Also, don’t let rubbing alcohol touch the scales! It will melt them!

Another thing could be that the points of the scissors are a little bent or just the little serration. Sometimes happens when you cut hard wire

Drop of oil worked like charm! All good now. I did not expect that as it was brand new, it had to dry out. Thanks a lot for your advices!
