Depends on what they're made of, not what they are.
Anything made of a conducting material is a conductor, whatever it is.
Anything made of an insulating material is an insulator, whatever it is.
Material properties - conducting or insulating - is more important than shape.
Scissors are generally - but not always - made of metal.
And metals are usually conductors, making the scissors conductors.
But a scissor might have plastic handles. Plastic is usually an insulator, which would make the handles insulators.

Since they are made of metal, I say its a conductor. But the handles are plastic. The handles are insulators.

Creepage distance in insulators?
It is the shortest distance between the conductors measured along with the surface of insulators.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.
Materials that are sometimes classified as insulators and sometimes as conductors are called?
semiconductors
Why do engineers need to know about conductors and insulators?
To avoid or to attract the electricity
Examples of insulators and conductors?
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
Are scissors conductors?
They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
Are scissors a conductor?
Scissors are Conductors, DUHHHHH
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?

Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Which metal acts as an insulator?
Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.
Are Penny's insulators or conductors?
they are Conductors, not much for insulation though.
Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
