Title: very bad hinge design
Product review: I do not use these shears professionally, just around my home. I purchased them spring of 2010. Initially they worked well and the Power Lever design gives good cutting power. The weak design link is really sad however when you discover it. The blades of the shears are held together, not with nuts and bolts, not even with washers and rivets but merely a pin that is punched to say in place. Unbelievable! Of course it falls out after limited use and it's not a matter of if they will fail but simply how quickly they will fail. I have requested a replacement under their lifetime warranty but if there is no difference in construction expect they too will fail fairly quickly.Sad, as they are otherwise nice shears.
