Sweet Home Scissors Await Space Launch Click here to read the letter and article about NASA using Slip-N-Snip scissors in its medical kits and experiments.

Early in the 1970s, a concrete finisher gave me a pair of Slip-N-Snip Scissors while I was officially visiting one of his jobs below Portland. I have carried them in my pocket every day since.

One year ago, I lost my trusted Slip-N-Snip Scissors. I have tried others (poor substitutes for yours) with unhappy results. Imagine my surprise when I recently found the original box with your address. I had owned my scissors for a long time. Would you please let me know how I can get more. Thanks, Joan Todd Palm Springs, CA

This Christmas my daughter gave me a new pair, so the "old" ones will be retired to the dresser drawer. A pair of pocket scissors that had been carried almost 25 years and still functions perfectly speaks well of the design and quality of materials used in the product.

I suspect that these new Slip-N-Snips will outlast me as I am now 56. Add 25 years to this and I'll really be an "old timer." Your product will probably be like the Energizer Bunny™ and just keep on going.

Thanks for this memory and for producing a quality product.

Sincerely,
John Hickel
