Overview
The Cardboard TY008-1 is a stainless steel blade cordless shears at $23.99, one of the more accessibly priced options in this batch with a published blade material spec. Stainless steel is a practical choice for most cutting tasks, offering corrosion resistance and reasonable durability for everyday use.
With 600 units sold last month and 120 reviews averaging 4.3 stars, the TY008-1 demonstrates active buyer engagement. The monthly sales volume of 600 units puts it among the top three in demand within this batch, ahead of several pricier competitors. That level of ongoing purchase activity at a sub-$25 price suggests buyers consistently find the value proposition convincing.
Voltage, operating weight, and cutting capacity are not published. The TY008-1 competes closely with the Cardboard JQJ-1 at a similar price and rating. The key differentiator between the two is blade material: this model specifies stainless steel where the JQJ-1 does not separately publish blade material. For buyers who specifically want a documented stainless steel blade at a low price, the TY008-1 is the clearer choice.
Pros

Cons

Frequently asked questions
How does the TY008-1 differ from the Cardboard JQJ-1?
Both are similarly priced cordless shears from the same brand and share a 4.3-star average, but the TY008-1 specifies stainless steel as the blade material while the JQJ-1 lists plastic as its construction material without separately naming the blade.
Is stainless steel a good choice for a cordless shears blade?
Stainless steel is a solid everyday choice. It resists corrosion, holds an edge adequately for fabric and packaging tasks, and is easy to clean. For harder materials, tungsten or titanium options provide more edge retention.
