Spanish translation:tijeras
Explanation:
Para mí son tijeras, Fabio. No creo que sea necesario buscar otro nombre en español. Shears son las tijeras más grandes, pero tijeras al fin.

tijeras dentadas / tijeras


Explanation:
El término cizalla no lo he visto nunca empleado en costura, te indico un link que espero te sea de ayuda. Son dos términos usados para decir 'tijeras', como antes indicó Karin.

Saludos,
