I have my mom's shears and they are quite heavy to use but somehow I can adjust my hand and they work great.

Gee, guess I'm lucky. I have a 5" pr. that I've had for about 40 years. Love them. They're by Wiss Model CB5

I found this pair at a garage sale for 50 cents!! They are made by Sears and Robuck. They measure 7 inches I also picked up a pair of WISS ones at a resale shop for $1.00

Fiskars makes spring loaded pinking shears AND scissors. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I'm grateful for the spring loaded. It sure helps the hands! Here's a link to see the pinking shears. JoAnn's carries Fiskars.
