It wasn't until the electric scissors you see below went on sale for about $25 that I decided to buy. While you can use it to cut wrapping paper, fabric, and many other things, there are two things that I'll use it for the most. First, cardboard boxes. I recently used a carpet knife to cut down the boxes our new nightstands came in. Pulling that razor blade towards me over and over to make small enough pieces to fit into the recycle can was both dangerous and exhausting. Second, plastic clamshell packaging. Our heavy-duty kitchen scissors can barely cut the stuff, and ripping it apart leads to enough injuries that OSHA releases an annual clamshell packaging injury report. I haven't tested cutting really heavy-duty plastic yet, but I believe it should work.
