Which points on a scissor should be regularly oiled?

• A. Between the blades, close to the handles, and in between tension screws
• B. Only the blades
• C. Only the tension screws
• D. The handles and tips only

Answer: (A)

Regular lubrication keeps the moving parts of grooming scissors working smoothly and prevents wear from friction. The points to oil are where the blades and their mechanism actually move against each other: between the blades right at the pivot, the area near the handles where the pivot sits, and in the space around the tension screw that adjusts blade tension. Lubricating these three spots helps the scissors open and close with less resistance, maintains proper tension, and protects metal from rust in a damp grooming environment. Oiling only the blades misses the pivot and screw areas where the most friction occurs, while oiling only the tension screw or only the handles and tips leaves other moving surfaces dry and prone to sticking.
