I needed a new pair. The old one had lived a hard life before me and despise cleaning and more, it was timeThese felt solid in the hand. No wobble. Parts moved smoothly, no drag, no catching. They cut well. I was cutting aluminum soda cans for craft. Through the thick top and bead, not a problem. Through the body of the can, smooth cutting.These are straight cut, not right or left. They cut straight and clean. I was able to follow the straight lines I drew on the can to make curled frilly chair pincushions, quite closely spaced.The hook to hold them shut for easier storage works nicely as well. My hands and grip are not the best, but these were easy enough to work with. I have used them quite a bit and they are holding up well.Also, sheet metal is sharp, wear leather gloves when using these and safety glasses. If you get any part of a finger in these while cutting, they can into skin or cut some off. So take care.I try to buy quality well made tools for my money, These seem to qualify. Hope to continue to use for a long time to come.

This is a really nice pair of snips. I work with silver and gold and wanted a bigger one for thicker sheet. I've had my trusty, small snips for over 25 years and while I love them and use them every time I work, they just can't cut much over 24 gauge. I decided to go bigger, and based on some suggestions from fellow 'smiths, I went with Wiss. I got the straight cut.These puppies are SHARP and powerful. I've done 18 gauge annealed sterling silver with no problem and suspect 16 gauge would be ok, too, if you've got a good grip on your metal. They cut straight and clean.They are sharp enough that during the second half of our maiden voyage (while employing in a manner I'm certain is not recommended by the manufacturer) I cut the middle finger of my left hand badly enough to warrant 4 stitches.All in all, these snips are fantastic when they are being used as they are intended to be used. I've not tried them on any ferrous metals or anything else except my finger. On which they cut like butter...clean through that fleshy pad, but easy to stitch and fast to heal. I was going to include a photo, but because of which finger it is, it's rather obscene.

I use these for work and I've learned if a tool at work, holds up and does the job you need it to do, it needs to be ordered and put in the home tool box. This brand is top notch. Its also very close in price to the ones made in that other country. This cuts so much more than metal, and it does it with ease.

I just cut 20 feet of 19-gauge hardware cloth with these shears, and couple tough clamshell plastic cases.These are strong. It's not quite as easy as a hot knife through butter, but it brings the impossible within reach.Another reviewer mentioned these were designed for giant hands, and this is true. These seems to be a design flaw. In order to use the full length of the blades, one would need to have a MASSIVE hand or thumb-to-pinky span, like a super buff Rachmaninoff. 99% of people will not be able to use the full length of the shears, which means making more short snips or using two hands to use the full length.After a few feet of cutting they started to stick and not reopen automatically; I had to open the handles to open the blades back up. However this isn't permanent. They have moments of sticking and then unstick.I'm keeping these because they cut well, but I would look for smaller sized shears if I were to buy again.

Finally had to replace my original pair, after maybe 25 years of service. I abused it, using it to cut through cement and wire screening, while removing a wall full of tile in a bathroom. I expected the new one to be inferior in build quality, but was pleasantly surprised to see it was still well-made.

Works perfect for cutting an aluminum steel mesh screen that I bought. Just what I needed.

08/01/25:-I know there are a lot of NONE genuine Wiss products out there but the one I've bought seems genuine enough, it's solid with no loose couplings, they're sharp, comfortable in the hand and easy to use, hopefully they'll stand the test of time.If there's any problems or issues I always update my reviews,if there's no updates there's no problems.
