# Scissors animated icon

The scissors snip. Light: the blades ease a touch wider, then snap shut about the hub with a stop (12 degrees each, the handles squeezing together) and spring back open past rest before settling. Strong: snip-snip, two cuts in a row, the second shallower, then a small settle. The rest pose is the open pair; the hub never moves.
