Pivot Screw vs Rivet Assembly Stainless Steel Scissors: B2B Buyers Guide

After the blade of stainless steel scissors is insertion molded onto the handle, the two blades are assembled to form a finished pair of scissors. The materials used to assemble scissors mainly include pivot screws and rivets.

When assembling scissors with pivot screws, it is necessary to tap the pivot positions of the two scissors separately, and lock them with solid pivot screws with nuts. The tightness can be adjusted appropriately. The production process includes tapping, locking, and torque calibration, with higher processing accuracy requirements. Manual operation is required during assembly. When assembling scissors with rivets, solid or hollow rivets are inserted into prefabricated holes and directly riveted to the head using spinning and stamping equipment. One time molding does not require tapping, and the process is short and efficient. After riveting, the shaft is a permanent fixed structure and cannot be disassembled at will. Some scissors with high cutting function requirements are still assembled manually, while some scissors with lower cutting function requirements, such as some small scissors, can be assembled mechanically, which greatly reduces production costs and production time.

Scissors assembled with pivot screws have a cushioning effect due to the screw pattern, making them smoother to open and close, and providing a better cutting feel. This is particularly evident for some large scissors. Scissors that have been repeatedly opened and closed for a long time may experience slight displacement in their assembly position. Scissors assembled with pivot screws can be reset by adjusting the pivot screws, while scissors assembled with rivets cannot be reset. In this way, scissors assembled with pivot screws have a longer service life.

In terms of price, scissors assembled with rivets have an advantage over scissors assembled with pivot screws, because scissors assembled with pivot screws not only have higher prices for the pivot screws themselves, but also higher labor costs during assembly. At the same time, some scissors assembled with rivets can be assembled through mechanical automation, significantly reducing assembly costs. But in terms of performance, scissors assembled with pivot screws are significantly better than scissors assembled with rivets.

So for some large scissors and scissors with high cutting function requirements, such as kitchen scissors, industrial tailor scissors, hair clippers, garden pruning scissors, large office scissors, beauty scissors, etc., screw assembled scissors should be selected as much as possible. Some small scissors, such as regular household scissors, stationery scissors, student scissors, and small and medium-sized office scissors, can be assembled with rivets.

For example, this is an assembly pivot screw used in our stainless steel kitchen scissors. This kitchen scissors is different from other kitchen scissors.
