What Is Ergonomix®?

Wolff Industries, Inc.'s Ergonomix shears stand out for their enhanced comfort, ease of cutting, prolonged sharpness, extended durability, and ability to minimize medical losses. The Ergonomix designation encompasses five specific criteria that shears must meet to be branded as such.

Designed By An Ergonomist

The handle design, a collaborative effort with an ergonomist, prioritizes proper hand ergonomics to maintain the operator's hand in the most natural position. Crafted from a soft thermoplastic elastomer, the handles alleviate stress and tension on the hand while being chemically bonded to the blades for enhanced durability and break resistance. This not only enhances comfort but also aids in reducing medical losses associated with hand injuries related to scissors usage.

The 5 Criteria of Ergonomix®
Presently, a curated collection of shears from Wolff and KAI has earned the prestigious Ergonomix badge.

The 5 Criteria of Ergonomix®

Hardened Stainless Steel

Crafted from resilient stainless steel hardened to a Rockwell C rating of 58, Ergonomix shears boast a life expectancy that is two to four times longer than those of our competitors. This longevity not only ensures sustained performance but also substantially diminishes your replacement costs.

Proper Blade Tension

Ergonomix shears operate with reduced hand pressure, as we have precisely set the blade tension to achieve optimal cutting performance.

Mechanically Secured Pivots

Ergonomix shears have the pivot nuts mechanically locked in place with a nylon lock-nut to prevent loosening and falling off.

Honed and Tested

Ergonomix shears feature blades honed at a 35-degree angle, resulting in effortlessly smooth cutting and exceptionally durable edges. The honed edges not only facilitate a 40% reduction in hand pressure but also undergo meticulous hand testing to ensure the desired cut and feel. Every pair of shears must meet 100% of our stringent quality control standards.

Ergonomically Correct Handles

Ergonomix shears are equipped with handles that are ergonomically designed to naturally position the operator's hand. The soft, thermoplastic elastomer handles contribute to minimizing stress and tension on the hands. Additionally, these handles are chemically bonded to ensure they are food safe and resistant to breakage.

How Our Scissors Are Made

Selecting the ideal professional scissors for your task involves considering several key factors:

How to Choose the Right Scissors

Hand and Cutting Position

Will you be cutting at table or chest height? Your hand position will influence the optimal scissors design.

Material

What type of material will you cut (hard, soft, rope)? This will determine blade thickness, length, and edge type (smooth or serrated).

Edge Type

Smooth edges provide clean cuts, while micro-serrations or corrugations enhance grip, especially for slipper or loose-weave tough materials.

Length of Cut

Longer cuts typically require longer blades.

Example

 If you are cutting a hard-to-cut piece of rope material, you’ll need a pair with shorter, thicker blades. The short blades help create more leverage, and the thicker blades help keep them from pushing apart in the cut.
