(4 stars) - It works but the ad is confusing
The item works and I will keep it. The ad showed a completely different item than what I received.

(1 stars) - Caution: you may ruin your shears
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.

(4 stars) - Nice Scissor Sharpener
I buy this product cos I got AccuSharp for knife at home. I give it 4 stars cos it's hard to reach the end of my garden shear (most garden shears have limited open angles). For wild open angle scisors, this product works perfectly.

(5 stars) - Affordable Scissor Sharpener
Great tool to sharp both average and large size scissors. NO need to discard those old scissors. With a couple of strokes, the scissor to back to the way it was when I first bought it. I bought other affordable scissor sharpeners before this one, they are easier to use and sharpens all my average size scissors. But the prior sharpeners can't handle the larger scissors.

(3 stars) - Scissor Sharpener not as good as Knife Sharpener
Not as good as the knife sharpener. Perhaps because I had already sharpened 10 pairs of scissors with the knife sharpener (it did get them sharp)the scissor sharpener hasn't done anything better. Now my scissors won't cut through a plastic bread bag nor will they cut hair. Maybe I ruined them all with the knife sharpener. At any rate, when I realized the scissors wouldn't cut hair, I immediately ordered the scissor sharpener (and two more knife sharpeners) and it arrived in three days. Unfortunately, I think the damage is already done.
