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.

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.

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.

These are some real handy snips. I've used mine on gutters and other sheet metal, hardware cloth, thick plastic, weather stripping, roofing shingles, rubber, and even etc. Several years ago I used them to shred my collection of 3-1/2 inch computer diskettes. I had a lot of those disks and these things made short work of them. They are also quite good for opening those finger gouging blister packages that so many goods come packaged in these days. The snips are very well made, durable, and the compound action makes cutting tough material like sheet metal and shingles fairly easy. I've had mine for years and they still cut as good as when they were new. No complaints and no suggestions for improvement. They are ideal as is.

For the price. I wasn't expecting too much when I ordered this because of the price, but the quality of construction and action of the snips is something to behold.

These are the best for cutting vinyl, like blinds, gutters. They cut straight with a fairly long cut. Saves time and gives a very clean cut. I don't use mine for metal as I want to keep the blades sharp and smooth cutting. These are really heavy duty.
