    I need to get a new pair of shears as no matter how much I sharpen mine they don’t cut the cheaper PU underlays well at all and it’s driving me up the wall.

    Any makes better than the others? I’m sure I used to have Wolf ones but can’t find them anymore. Currently using some Finnys but not impressed.

    I’ve never been impressed with the scissors they sell through trade counters or Sweeny Todd’s. My old guvnor had some old metal shears and they would cut through everything. Maybe he sharpened them at home? He was an upholsterer before he went into flooring so maybe he knew a better manufacture.

    I’ve never been a fan of that style but maybe it’s time to give them a go and see.
