Electric scissors are a type of cutting tool that uses a motor to operate the blades, making it easier to cut through various materials like fabric, paper, and cardboard. They are especially useful for individuals with limited hand strength or dexterity, as the electric mechanism reduces the effort needed to cut. These scissors often come with safety features, such as automatic shut-off and blade guards, to prevent accidents. They can be powered by batteries or plugged into an electrical outlet, providing versatility for different cutting tasks. Electric scissors are popular among crafters, seamstresses, and professionals in the textile industry.
