Ceramic scissors work well for trimming tile edges and making small, precise cuts. Thick porcelain may require a dedicated tile cutter. Always check the recommended blade thickness limit before use, and avoid cutting materials beyond the manufacturer's specifications. Matkel offers scissors designed for light to medium tile work.
Heavy-duty scissors use thicker blades, stronger steel, and reinforced handles, allowing them to cut tougher construction materials with less hand fatigue. Regular scissors are better suited for light tasks only. For contractors and repetitive job-site work across Saudi Arabia, heavy-duty models provide better durability and control.
High-quality steel and a proper design should resist bending or breaking during normal use. However, misuse or cutting materials beyond the specified thickness can cause warping or damage. Choose the right size and select a model built for heavy-duty work. Matkel offers models designed for repeated on-site use.
For heavier projects, scissors around 20 to 27 cm are usually recommended because longer handles provide more leverage and reduce effort. Shorter models may be enough for thin materials or light support work. Choose based on material thickness, cut length, and how often you cut on site.
Yes. Clean and dry them after each use, especially in humid coastal areas such as Jeddah or Dammam. Apply a light oil drop to the pivot for smooth movement. Sharpen only when the edge feels dull, maintaining the original blade angle for consistent cutting performance.
