This review is from: Wiss M300 MultiMaster 3-Inch Cut Capacity 10-1/2-Inch Straight, Left, and Right Cut Long Handled Snip (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had my snips for a couple years now, and look forward to using them for years more. Mostly I use them on up to 16 gauge sheet metal. They cut through the sheet and foils I use quite easily with an action that works very well.
I've never tried them on paper.
As a hobbyist, these are just a wonderful tool. Easy to use and well built without costing a lot. They go through aluminum cans very easily and also work very well on copper foil to make tooled pendants and such with. The edges of thicker metal don't seem to need much filing to get them smooth again and it doesn't warp my foils all out of place.
You do need to take care of them though, make sure you oil them every so often to help prevent against rust forming.

This review is from: Wiss M300 MultiMaster 3-Inch Cut Capacity 10-1/2-Inch Straight, Left, and Right Cut Long Handled Snip (Tools & Home Improvement)

My dad bought this for me when I was with him as a teenager in a local hardware store. It was a starter tool present for me along with my first corded drill and he picked it up with the comment of "Oh you'll want these. Wiss is a good brand." I used it for several years without any real maintenance and was always amazed at how I could just pick it up from wherever I last put it and it could cut just about anything for the project at hand: sheet metal of various types, nails, papers, cardboards, fabrics thin and heavy, plastics, strings/cords/rope. I used past tense because I lost those original snips and am now looking to buy again.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I've been using this tool in my shop for about a year now and I am very pleased with it. It cuts anything from paper to sheetmetal with ease and cleanly. My brother has been using it when he works with me and he really likes it as well, and always says so everytime he returns it to me, which is why I'm here at Amazon buying another one for him as a birthday present.

As an added benefit, it's Made in the USA, which is a big plus if you give a damn about your country like we do.
