I honestly don't know. I haven't really came across dull scissors. I know the Ceramic edge is to sharpen, and the Carbide is to set new ones. I don't know if will work on scissors though. I would recommend calling the manufacturer or try Smiths-JIFF-S-10-Second-Scissors-Sharpener in Amazon which is also made by Smith.

No, the sharp edge of the scissors usually is more than 45 degrees (some times near 70 degrees), and this tool has an angle of 15~20 for carbide and 30~35 for ceramic. If you are a very skilled person, you could use the rod. But for me it is not a good solution.

This sharpener seems to work on both sides of the blade evenly, for a knife that's works well, but I don't think most scissors work that way. So, maybe not completely ideal for scissors.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

I'm not sure, but don't think so. It seems to work well on non-serated knives, but wouldn't use on scissors. Just my guess.

Hi Blanca, I had to go try it before I could answer. My manicure scissors are very small, come to a sharp point and the blades are probably only 1/2" in length. No, these small scissors will not fit into this sharpener.

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

I would not recommend it.It sharpens both sides of a surfaceRepeted use would move your scissor blades further and further apart

NO. Scissors are sharpened at a different angle.. If your scissors are only slightly dull, you can sharpen them by cutting thin strips of fine sandpaper. Cut the sandpaper in thin strips to conserve the sandpaper. If badly dull, you must obtain a sharpener designed for scissors. Never hone, sand or sharpen the inside edges of scissors. You can take off a a burr on the inside edges by laying the inside blade flat on some find sandpaper and drawing the blade off of the paper. Don't slide it sideways

I would say ... Don't waste your money! I know professional sharpeners are expensive and there's no guarantee with them either. Sometimes we just have to grit our teeth an buy new scissors. Annie

NO!! And this tool comes with a "how-to" pamphlet. Always use a sawing motion for sharpening knives. This works good on pocket knifes also.

I have not tried scissors. but based on how well it works on knives I wouldn't try it. I wasted my money on it.

Yes! It sharpened my serrated knives beautifully! I even sharpened the steak knives with it! Just don't put it in for very long... test by slicing a piece of paper... will tell you it's sharp enough. I love it! Easy to use and sharpens well!

I love this little sharpener! I use it on all my scissors and have always been pleased with the results. I use it on my fabric shears and I have used it on the scissors I use to trim my hair (although not a professional hairstylist have done my own as well as friends' and family members hair for many years). It does a good job but you might want to use it in-between professional sharpening, which you will probably still want to do, but may not have to do as often.

Definately scissors are easily sharpened As for garden tools like loppers or clippers that's a no. You might get an edge on a hoe or something like that but knives are what it is for

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

I don't know for certain, but I doubt that it would work on any kind of scissors or shears.This sharpener is perfect for knives, but shears/scissors have a different shape entirely.

I don't think it will. My sharpener doesn't even sharpen the regular pencils. It's back in the box, my students refused to use it (was used less than a month and was not abused I guess I should throw it away but it looks good and Spent a lot of money on it).
