Hi this is for 11.5 in. Long Straight-Cut Aviation Snips Model #48-22-4537. It has good reviews on the Home Depot site, and indeed it is well built and feels good in hand when using it. However there is a MAJOR issue. If you test the cutting edge steel on the Rockwell HRC scale, it only scores between 50-55. It is ChromeMoly steel. A lot cheaper than the tool steels that other snips are made of. My Wiss snips tested 65+ on the Rockwell scale. This snip looks nice, but it does not have a durable edge. Since most people don’t test their steel, they will naturally assume that because of the Milwaukee name, it is a good product, but this is not true in this case. I might still have a use for it, but it will not be for cutting sheet metal as other tin snips are capable of.

Very nice snips of good quality you expect from Milwaukee.These are some well built snips and and handles give a comfortable solid grip that allows you to plow through the job easily. The long cutting edge is very handy. I’d been doing some cutting with my others shortly before getting these and thinking I wish that cutting edge was about twice as long to make the job easier. Well these fit that bill as you can see with the picture I posted with them shown next to my old ones. The old ones are find and a solid tool but sometimes you need more cutting edge. I like the straight design for most of my needs as well. One thing I will say is that out of the package they are a bit stiff but they are fine once you open them. That said though I could not open them with one hand. I had to hold them with one hand and open with the other due to the clip being tight. I figure with use that will probably limber up. Of course you do not want it too loose or it will be dropping down in the way while you are cutting. So better it be too stiff than too loose. All in all this is a very solid tool and pretty much what you expect from Milwaukee.
