Follow this 5 steps if you feel a snag in your thinner
1. Check for a Nick – If the shears catch, there's likely a nick in the solid blade. Slowly open and close them to feel where the catch is.
2. Spread & Close – Using your forefinger and thumb, gently spread the blades, then close past the nick.
3. Pinch & Open – Pinch at the nick, then slowly open the shears.
4. Repeat – Do this 3-4 times to smooth out the catch.
5. Test – If the shears still catch, secure them with a rubber band and set them aside for sharpening.
