Good design and cuts well, but not easy for tiny hands to open

I thought it was a good time for my niece to learn how to use scissors, so I purchased these, for her. I think the shape and size are pretty ideal; they fit her hands well, and she has no trouble holding them. They also cut paper very easily (much better than I was expecting). However, she does have trouble opening them, without using both hands. I figured that would be an issue, but I couldn't find any that had better reviews. I don't think I've ever found kid scissors that are easy to open, and since I know there are adult scissors that are very easy to open, I wonder if kid scissors are purposely made to be hard to open, so that kids don't accidentally cut themselves or something like that. I'm sure she'll get used to it, and it will get easier over time.

In the tools defense, I was using it for something it really wasn't intended for, but I still think it should have handled it without snapping one of the tools off.  Aside from that, it seems very intelligently designed.  I appreciate that the knife isn't just on the loose and you have to unlock it in order to extract it.  I like that it separates into two pieces, which is intentionally for tool specific use, but also makes it a little easier to use any of the tools since it's a little less awkward.

The resistance on the plastic snap-lock is hard for small hands to open without spilling the cards. Perhaps it'll be better once it breaks in a bit. (The trick seems to be have the box facing you with palms hugging the main base (with extra tray out of the way), and to grasp the top piece by the sides, near the bottom, and use both thumbs to press upward and slightly towards you, as if there were a hinge at the back.) Otherwise it's a hit.

just like any other spring assisted knife, opens well and easy to close, i do have a problem with the finger cut outs on the handle, doesn't fit my hand and a bit annoying on a pocket knife and another thing, 1 screw on the handle i can not tell if it's loose or not ( i don't have the right size to fit it ) to check.

The knife is plenty sharp and wonderfully shaped, and the fit and finish are excellent.

The spring-assisted opening creates a bit of a safety hazard. So you need to carry it with the safety on -- which eliminates the convenience of the easy opening. The rival brand, the Spyderco Delica, doesn't have this issue because it's not spring-assisted but still easy to open.

The handle is a little small and its lovely finish is rather slippery.

This punch is actually not too bad.  It is a little difficult to use, but I have noticed that most of the Martha Stewart punches are a little more difficult than other brands.  I think the double embossed ones require a little extra effort, too.  The design of this turned out pretty good, though, and it has become one of the kids' favorites to use.  Too bad they can't use it themselves like some of my other ones.

I love the form factor of this knife, and the blade is very sharp from the factory. The large finger hole is good for control of the blade on larger movements. Love the thumb tab on the blade. My knife a week later is still quite stiff and hard to open with one finger. You may want to apply some kind of lube to loosen up the action so it opens a bit smoother.

Just received the Gerber EAB Lite Pocket Knife I only purchased to open packages. Pros: Light and compact. Cons: Although the knife opens easily, it is both awkward and dangerous when folding. Just using my thumb to unlock the metal stop doesn't seem to work for me. As well, because the metal stop to unlock the knife is in the path of the blade, I feel more comfortable using the fingers of one hand to hold the top of the blade guard while using the thumb on the other to release the metal stop. I can only hope that having both hands on deck will prevent a potential catastrophe.

First, these clippers have a really neat design for all you personal hygiene geeks out there. The ingenious design in terms of how this clipper opens and closes/folds up is impressive. It's both a nail clipper and a fun toy that could provide hours of entertainment for the right individual. Great for travel given the size.

The blades themselves are very sharp and as a whole the design and material is top-notch. However, these clippers are quite small and given the loose sliding mechanism, should be advertised as fingernail clippers only. For toes, this item just won't cut it (pun intended). Whereas standard clippers provide constant tension between the thumb and finger, this folding design means that the clipping handle can easily slide out of place if not held right, changing the tension if used at arm's length. For fingers this isn't a problem, but with toes it's difficult to keep the handle in the correct position for accurate cutting. You were warned.

I really like this little tool. It fits the hand much better then the p38 or the p51, but it's not as  sharp. It's harder to pierce the can and it's not as pretty a cut. The bottle top opener is a nice addition and would be even better if it was on the same side as the can opener. Where it's at now it gets in the way of my fingertips and that makes it uncomfortable for regular use. You can tell it's not made for regular use. Still, it's a great design and a good tool to take camping with you or as an emergency tool for around the kitchen. When I reach for a can opener around the kitchen this is usually the first one I reach for.

The press-the-button-while-you-sip method was VERY frustrating for small hands.  I bought this for a pre-K kid and finger strength/length was an issue.  For an older kid, it's probably fine.  I do appreciate the non-spill aspect of the design, and the super-strong loop that you can use to fasten it to things is really thoughtful.  I would add that it feels clunky to clean the gizmo inside the lid.  You can dishwasher it, so maybe that's just me being picky.

The idea here is to get the smallest tool you can that contains everything YOU need. Well, that's kind of impossible, at least for me, so when you buy one of these multi-tools it's often a compromise. This one is a little smaller and lighter than many of the larger multi-tools -- which I like. The pliers seem to be sturdy and the tips matchup perfectly. All the individual tools lock securely and you don't have to worry about one of the screwdrivers folding back on your hand. The blade will operate with one hand but it's not even close to an assisted opening blade. Playing with the screw and lubrication did not help. SOG did respond within a day but had no fix for this. It's all normal, but MY preference would be a little easier to flip out. The blade is sharp, but can still use a little more work. The tweezer and toothpick are pitiful, but I discovered that the Swiss Army toothpick and tweezer fit perfectly.  The tool fits the hand very well when using any of the tools, and the sheath is just the right size and fits well on a belt or just clipped on your pants. I just wish it had a file and it would be perfect for ME.

These are ok. Safe and they do a pretty good job of cutting paper. I just wish they had a spring mechanism allowing for them to open and close easily. They require a little bit of effort to open and close, and my 4 year old's hands sometimes lack the strength to do it easily.

These are high quality, but difficult for younger hands to use (they are stiff) and just too small for practical applications like our fencing application. If we had super tight tolerance, I would be able to use them, but the gap for closing was just too small (1/2 an inch). This was, despite it's high quality, a return item for us.

works well and is well made. the screw-to-open feature is nice, but a bit too cumbersome/difficult for use with my toddler.

Bought these for my husband and we both try to use them, but the rolling handle makes it hard to use.  It could be that we both have smaller hands and it is hard just to stretch as wide as needed to grip them, and then the handle rolls.  I've actually dropped them a time or two because of the roll.
Otherwise, they are nice.  Blade is sharp and can be replaced, which is always a nice feature in secateurs.  The spring has nice action and the blade lock does its job.

This little knife is sleek looking and very sharp so you would think I would rate it higher. The reason I didn't is because the knife is so hard to open that I broke a nail TWICE trying to open it. If someone doesn't have nails or has thick fingers this would be near impossible to open.

The one thing I really like about this knife is how bright and focused the flashlight is.

I have tried other pocket knives from this company that I liked very much, but after 2 broken nails I just don't like this particular one.
