    Scissors work because the blades are tight against each other – there’s no gap between them when they’re cutting. When they “go sideways” it’s usually because the hinge is loose.

    If they’re good quality scissors, you probably need to tighten the screw holding the blades together.

      Yeah, old scissors used to have those, my kitchen sheers unfortunately do not, need to just get a nice pair and only use them for the kitchen.

        You can still probably tighten them. Here’s a couple techniques. What you’re trying to do is squish the rivet holding the two halves together in order to tighten it back up.

          Thanks, I’ll see if I can give that a try. I’ll be back to trying to cut down am oak tree with my kitchen sheers in no time! Haha
