Twist or apply pressure depending on the item.
It’s especially helpful for those with reduced hand strength or arthritis — giving you a much better grip without straining.
Bonus Hack: Seafood Night Just Got Easier
If you love crab legs or lobster tails but hate struggling with cracking them, this tool can help. That toothed section can work similarly to a nutcracker, gripping and cracking the shell without sending shell shards flying or ruining the meat inside.
Don’t Toss It, Use It!
So before you toss your old kitchen scissors thinking they’ve outlived their usefulness, take a closer look. That weird-looking part you’ve been ignoring? It’s been waiting patiently to make your kitchen life easier.
Next time a jar lid won’t budge or a bottle cap fights back, give that toothed grip a try — and get ready to feel like a kitchen genius.
Bottom Line:
The odd-looking toothed part on your kitchen scissors isn’t weird — it’s wonderful. And now that you know what it’s for, you’ll never look at your kitchen shears the same way again.
