Wiss M1R 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch MetalMaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight to Left-Red

Amazing, durable, quality construction and feel. Very robust. The straight cut allows me to cut steel wire ties. Currently I work in construction and we have to put materials between the rebar, so cutting ties and barring the steels away is now an easy feat. I'm cutting these ties with the nose of the snips, literally just about get 1-2mm between the jaws and it cuts the steel wire! As a sparky I also use these for cutting and terminating kopex. Again these are a breeze and go straight through. My previous snips were Wiss, they lasted 3+ years. I still have them as a back up pair. Durability is the name. These will never let you down.

Have tried other makes,but find these the best around.

Having purchased the Wiss snips upon a hearty recommendation from Marc Moore, I was pumped up and anxious to receive them. Even with next day delivery it seemed a life time away and that missing piece of my heart from lost in the ether. Without warning a kind hearted soul popped the package in my designated box. I fumbled entering the code and on sight tore the package to piece. My snips, my snips where have you been? I'm hear to drywall they replied. Wheels spinning out of the car park, straight to site and down to work. They have never left my side, unless I misplace them and accuse others of theft

Verry good

As a newbie to the world of enamelling I was looking for snips that I could use on copper sheet as well as stainless wire mesh. Having read various reviews, it became obvious that Wiss was a brand to trust.Not quite sure what cuts straight, left and right means but at this time all I was looking for was straight cut as I will refine shapes with a jewellers saw and files.These cut through 1.5m. steel wire easily, plus lighter gauge equally well. I have had problems with other heavy gauge being a little harsh on lesser wires. The cut through copper sheet - I have tried 1mm so far - but it was like a hot knife through butter. I am fairly sure that should I require to cut through heavier gauge these will work.Overall - very impressed, I will not be a heavy duty user, but these now reside in my workshop toolkit and I am sure I will get a good amount of use from these. In time, I may also look at left and right offset cutters, if I do Wiss will be my first port of call. I hope this is useful to people.

Just what I needed for my job

Very strong and easy to use

They were advertised as not marking the metals to be cut. There are serrations in the jaws which hold the materials to be cut.I am cutting one millimetre aluminium and are getting slight marking on the material. It’s not a big and they are top notch quality.Going to try doing two cuts and maybe a final cut of 10 mm. Still recommend them compared to some of the other dubious gear out there.

Nice tool and cuts 0.5mm aluminum sheet like paper. Easy to squeeze the handles and glide along in a straight line.

They’re always the best aluminum shear by far!

Great quality as compared red to my previous pair from the dollarstore.

I bought these to replace a pair my son lent me that I left out in the rain and ruined.:( These are really good quality and made in USA. Very nice

Buena calidad
