The upgraded swivel shear – Painkiller Shears

Painkiller Shears – the only U.S. patented swivel with special rubber for lasting comfort. Experience less pain, more control, and Japanese-made quality.       

Made in Japan

U.S. Patented Design – Unlike standard swivels, the thumb ring connects with a flexible pin + special rubber, giving freedom of movement and reducing strain.

Pain Relief Proven – Stylists with carpal tunnel report wrist pain eased or gone after using Painkiller.

Built to Last – Japanese-made Select Series quality. Special rubber shows under 0.5% breakage in 10 years and lasts ~5,000 haircuts. Replacement takes only a minute.

Adapt & Upgrade – First-time swivel users need ~2 weeks to adjust, but once you do, you won’t go back.

True to Its Name – Painkiller means less pain, more control, and long-term comfort.

👉 Choose the only swivel shear with a U.S. patent and proven durability.

Check the Origin

For premium shears, always look for the mark “Made in Japan.”

This mark is your guarantee of authentic Japanese craftsmanship, trusted steel quality, and lasting performance.

If a product only says “Japanese Steel” without an origin mark, be cautious—it may not offer the same standard.
