Spring-loaded snips

Return spring

— the presence in the scissors (usually manual for sheet metal, see "Type") of a special spring that works to open the jaws. In other words, the working stroke of the handles (for cutting) in such a tool occurs due to the effort of the user, and the return spring pushes them back (for opening). This feature provides additional comfort when working, in fact, relieving the user of the need to make efforts to open the jaws.
