Roxon S501U

“Roxon M3 has a similar design flaw, but with it's smaller size is less likely to see the same rough use. I don't have the KS2, M2, or Storm (S801S), but seemingly same design. Roxon S501U has a simple solution to this for - that fold-out handle has tabs closer to the pivot that bear all the cutting load so the spring's (the part that failed in OP's photo set) only job is to keep the handle snappy. I used these scissors to cut a whole bunch of 0.016" shim stock and the handle held up fine, as did the cutting edge. Roxon Phantom (S802S) has a very different design for their fold-out scissor handle - it uses a pin to lock it open and lock it closed. Very sturdy - I've been surprised so many times and keep abusing it in the hopes that the scissors break so I can justify buying another one. I wish the Flex was available with the big beefy scissors from the Phantom integrated into one of the handles. The blunt-nose Wenger-ish scissors they have for it are too uncomfortable to use to be able to apply enough force to even get close to failure.”
