Q: Is the S4 Series right-handed only?
A: The S4 Series features a straight handle design, which means it can be used in either hand. Some retailers note the straight handle "makes it possible to use both sides of the shear or to change the way the shears are held for a greater degree of freedom" . This makes the S4 Series potentially suitable for both right-handed and left-handed stylists, though you should confirm with your specific model.

Q: What sizes are available for the S4 Series?
A: The JW S4 Series is available in multiple sizes: 5.0 inches, 5.5 inches, and 6.0 inches . The 5.5-inch model is popular for detailed work, while the 6.0-inch offers more coverage for larger sections.

Q: Is there a matching thinner available for the S4 Series?
A: Yes. The JW S4 Shear & Thinner Kit includes the S4 cutting shear and a matching TS40 Thinner (40 teeth / 18% cut ratio) packaged for savings . The TS40 Thinner features the same straight handle design, convex edge, and liquid silver finish as the S4 cutting shear, making it a perfect matching combination.
