Amazon Basics3-Piece Aviation Snip Set - Left, Right and Straight Cut

The media could not be loaded. I purchased these Amazon Basics Straight Cut Aviation Snips for a rather unusual but necessary task: cutting up a metal credit card that my credit card company wouldn't take back for destruction. Regular scissors were completely ineffective, but these snips made quick work of the card, cutting through the thin metal effortlessly.The snips are very comfortable to hold in hand, and they felt sturdy and capable as I cut. The cuts were clean, and the blades are, as expected, very sharp. While I doubt I'll have frequent use for them, their durable feel suggests they would hold up well if I did.For the cheap price, these snips did exactly what I needed them to do. They're a great tool to have on hand for those unexpected jobs that require more cutting power than standard scissors.

These appear to be good quality and I used these to cut a metal shed to install a vent. Overall very easy to use and with the 3 different options, it was easy to cut the metal without much strain / effort.Note: I used a drill to create a hole first and then used these snips to cut out a roughly 6"x6" square in the metal shed.

I love the grip on the handles. Cut great 👍

Bought these to trim house gutter. Was trying to increase size of drain hole. Did not work well. Also used them to cut vinyl siding, which they did work for that job. They are made of metal with a comfortable grip. Would say they are of moderate quality but has their limits on what they can cut. Would not recommend for commercial use but seem fine for home use on small projects for very thin soft metal or non-metal cutting.

Our business is precious metals including things like sterling silver which is filled with plaster and needs to be removed. Likewise, we also buy quite a bit of scrap gold jewelry in our region with "explosive" hollow pieces (filled with air that can't escape!) which expands then explodes as we are melting it . . . dangerous because I've had things fly around the room sometimes. Regular wire cutters and the like are simply too dull. These (and I've purchased a few of these) are quicker and cut right through in just a second. They're made for sheet metal, sharp and make life easier especially with thinner items such as jewelry.

These work as intended and at a reasonable price. Theu are very sharp and durable. Will buy again if these ever break.

Item works and described.

Quality tin snips, did what they are supposed to do with a comfortable rubber grip. Would recommend. Do put some oil on them if they will be stored outside.
