When you close the scissors slightly, the teeth come together and create a strong gripping surface. This gives you extra traction and pressure, making certain kitchen jobs much easier.
Think of it as the quiet little helper hiding inside your scissors.

It Can Help Open Stubborn Jars and Bottles
One of the most useful jobs for that toothed section is opening tight lids.
Almost everyone has struggled with a jar that refuses to open. You twist, tap the lid, wrap it in a towel, and still nothing happens. That is where the gripper comes in.
Place the lid between the ridged teeth, close the scissors gently around it, and twist. The teeth help hold the lid firmly so your hand does not slip. This can work especially well on smaller caps, such as soda bottles, sauce bottles, tonic water caps, or other containers with stubborn lids.
