MIDWEST Bulldog Aviation Tin Snip Straight Cut Cutting Shears with Forged Blade & Kush'n-Power Comfort Grips MWT-6716B , Blue

Work well on 0.6mm brass.

Good cutting for tight places

This tool weighs 373 g but it feels very well balanced in the hand. It is 24 cm long and 6 cm wide, so it might not get into tight spaces. The grip is made of very soft rubber and has groves for better hold and is firmly attached to the handles so it won't come off. The tool blades are very thick and straight so they cut metal up to 1.29 mm in thickness with ease and the tips of blades open up to 1.5 cm. The spring is firm so it is easy to operate them. It is very important to wear safety goggles when using this product. Their main selling point is the fact that they are made in the USA so you know you can expect a great quality product, although they cost a little bit more. I haven't had any issues with them so far. Highly recommend.

This is a really well made snip. It i made from alloy steel and really feels strong and solid. The handles are easy and comfortable to grasp. I was a loss as to why I would want to cut metal but my husband had a job ready and waiting. The edge pf our shovel had become split and ragged. He simply snipped the bad away until he had a nice even edge. He likes it very muck
