Singer Electric Scissors?

Some years ago I, in a moment of weakness, bought a set of Red/White Singer Electric scissors. A/C adaptor sold separately. This was maybe

10 yeara ago. They turned up recently, and, mirabile dictu, the batteries were still OK.

Q: The A/C adaptor seems to as scarce as hens' teeth. Also info about same. Anybody know what DC voltage is supposed to plug into that scissor? And whether it is to charge rechargeable batteries, as opposed to run the scissor off the AC line? The unit takes 4 AAA cells, for 6 volt, but I tried running it on six volt w/o batteries in place and got nothing.

Needless to say, Singer

Needless to say, Singer hears/says/knows nothing and there is no clue on the scissor itself.

Sorry for the double post, but on my news client Shift-S and Ctrl-S are too close. One gives you a capital S, the other sends the incomplete message instantly.

TIA

Items like that are promotional items and they do not supply replacement parts. I assure you Singer did not make it. Try the ac adaptor with the batteries in.

Just FWIW Alex, but about every 5 years, somebody brings me some Singer electric scissors that they found at a yard sale or Great Aunt Henrietta's attic. Every pair has been loud, dull and would vibrate your dental work loose. Unless you decide to make wing covers for a glider plane, I can't think of much practical use for them. I recommend you give them the sort of burial that would be appropriate. I'm impressed that you understand Shift-S and Ctrl-S. The only one of those that I know is Alt-0176. It will produce the degree cute little tiny o. I don't know who decided we didn't need that on the keyboard. Polly

OK, Polly, let's not poke fun of making glider airplane wing and tail covers!!! I WISH I could have used an electric scissors, but cutting 27 feet while the fabric lies on the ground was tough enough with my really sharp regular scissors! It was an interesting project, but I'm not in the mood for another like that for awhile. In fact, I told my DH I'm thinking of doing a miniature quilt, or something, that's little next.

Fun? Me? Mercy no. We once made a cover for a 28 ft TrailManor camper. DH has electric hedge trimmers and a chainsaw. We considered both. Polly

Thanks, guys! I have some arthritis in my hands and a formerly broken left wrist and some days are better than others. I bought that Singer years back, not for sewing, but for clipping paper coupons! Found a seam ripper worked just as well. Was thinking about whether it might be useful for heavier stuff like heavy cotton drill, 16 oz denim, cordura nylon strapping and the like. It inly cist me about $10, so I'm not really out anything if it's useless....

When my arthritis got really bad a few years back, my DH bought me a rotary cutter with several blades, including a pinking blade, and two mats large enough to cover my 36" X

48" cutting table.

prefer the precision I can get using scissors, so I rarely use it, but it has been handy a few times for super tough jobs or when my hands are just too sore to use scissors. However, this sounds like a better tool for you:
