About Armada Art

Armada Art has been in business since 1986 and is the manufacturer of all types of scissors. Our Snippy® Scissors, introduced in the early 90's, are well known in the school industry. Customers love the Snippy® 2" ruler and the fact that they are right or left-handed and they cut felt. Check out our Stick and Peel™ Glue - the removable glue - there’s nothing else like it on the market. It's great for hanging student artwork on any surface.

Harry Eisenbaum named his company "Armada" using the first initials of his triplets Arielle, Mara and David. Since our beginning we have expanded our product line to include Punch Art, Paper Shapers™ and other Arts & Craft items.

Since our scissors are made from heat treated stainless steel, we are able to offer a lifetime guarantee.
