I got this from my friend pinking shears. I am a hobby seamstress and cutting only normal cottons and co. In an ordinary piece of cloth the plastic handle is broken without great force. I wrote to the Tokokurzwaren to or receive similar compensation (although I unfortunately had no bill, but the ordering process was traceable through Amazon). I did not have much promised me, but my request remained unanswered. I am a bit sad because I thought this would be of high quality as cheaper models. That's it.
