Mr. Pen Electric Scissors Review: Cut Through Anything with Ease

Welcome back to Test Talk, where we put everyday tools to the test. Today, I’m diving into something a little different but incredibly useful — the Mr. Pen Electric Scissors. If you work with cardboard, leather, carpet, or just hate getting hand cramps from regular scissors, this little tool might be your new best friend.

I’ve been using these at the shop to cut everything from CNC plotting paper to flower stems and leather scraps. Here’s the full unboxing, demo, and honest breakdown of what they can do.

What’s in the Box?

• 1 Mr. Pen Electric Scissor Unit
• 1 Extra Blade Set (D and O type)
• Rechargeable Battery
• Charging Station & Cable

Everything you need is right in the box. No extra tools, no hunting for accessories.

Why These Scissors Are a Game-Changer

These aren’t just scissors with a motor. They’re precision electric shears with two interchangeable blade types:

• Blade D: Cuts through cardboard, rose stems, and carpet backing
• Blade O: Handles tougher jobs like plastic straps, aluminum, vinyl flooring, cotton, leather, and felt

That alone makes them a multitool for crafters, shop owners, shipping departments, and anyone who deals with packing materials or leatherworking.

Setup and Charging

The battery clicks right into the charger and plugs into any outlet. Once charged, it slides easily into the scissor unit. Everything is ergonomically designed and lightweight, making it great for left- or right-handed users.

Turning the scissors on is as simple as hitting the safety switch and pressing the power button. Best part? You don’t have to hold it down the whole time — one press keeps it on until you press again to turn it off.

Blade Swapping

Need to change blades? Just press the side buttons and swap them out. No tools needed. The blades snap in and out quickly, and you’ll be back to cutting in under 30 seconds.

Real-World Cutting Demo

Let’s talk about performance. I tested these on:

• Thick paper rolls — glided through like butter
• Cardboard — even heavy-duty stuff didn’t slow it down
• Leather — cut right through beater bag material without hesitation
• Insulation/vine debris — even when pulled through exhaust vents, it handled it like nothing

Traditional scissors would’ve jammed or required serious muscle. These handled it all without missing a beat.

Final Verdict

If you work with any kind of materials on a regular basis — packaging, leather, shipping, or even crafts — this tool will save you time, effort, and hand strain. I was skeptical at first, but now it’s a permanent fixture at my bench.

It’s one of those tools you didn’t know you needed — until you try it. And now I can’t go back.

Until next time, keep testing — and keep those hands blister-free.
