These $46 ‘electric scissors’ give me ASMR endorphins when I slice up Amazon boxes

OK, won’t lie. I first became aware of so-called “electric scissors” when I saw an influencer hawking them on the TikTok Shop. The basic promise is that you can break down cardboard boxes quickly – and without the safety risks of using a box cutter, Stanley knife or whatever else you call those slicey things in your neck of the woods.

I didn’t click the TikTok link, but I did begin researching this product category, and discovered that, wow, electric scissors may be more useful than I expected.
