Cutting cardboard, rubber sheet or heavy fabric with standard scissors wears out a hand fast. The Klein Tools 206LR is a 7 in bent trimmer with an extra-large bottom ring for a four-finger grip and blue plastisol-coated handles for comfort and leverage. Its bent design lets the blade ride flat along a surface, and the extra blunt tip helps avoid snagging what is underneath.
Why tradespeople pick it
- Large bottom ring takes four fingers for more cutting power.
- Bent handles glide along flat surfaces and ease wrist strain.
- Chrome over nickel-plated carbon steel blades resist rust and corrosion.
- Extra blunt tip lowers the risk of snagging or puncturing surfaces underneath.
- Screw tension adjustment keeps the cut clean as the pivot wears.

Pro tip from the counter
If the blades start folding tape or fabric instead of cutting it, snug the pivot tension screw a little rather than squeezing harder. Note that the bent handles and large ring are shaped for right-handed use.
Best for: cutting cardboard and packaging, rubber and plastic sheet, heavy textiles, wallpaper installers, electricians' tool bags
