Buyers should beware there of Chinese(?) copies of Wiss tools around and I inherited some and while they are physically identical they are not the same quality. Wiss has their name in the casting and that is what I look for. No “WISS” no buy.

The style of the Wiss made easy to handle and store while on the job site. Because of the built in latch I didn’t have to worry about snipping my fingers. Great product!

Cutting broad swaths or sheets of metal can be a challenge because there is no easy way to “steer” the cutting tip when the surrounding metal surface gets in the way of the snip handles. That’s why I love this snip. The flat surface of the cutting tip (see picture) supports one side of the metal surface, allowing room for your hand to navigate the snips in a straight direction. The cutter is sharp enough to cut a medium duty metal strip too (see picture), eliminating the need to use a hack saw. I like that convenience and speed.The plastic encased handles make it comfortable to grip, even with damp or wet hands and the use of bolt/screw fasteners at the jaw assembly make it possible to keep the cutters tightly aligned with each other. There is even a small molded hole molded into one of the handle grips for storing the tool on a peg, screw or nail. This is a low-cost solution to challenging jobs. I would recommend this snip to a friend.

9-1/4 in. Metalmaster Offset Snips I remember growing up with Wiss scissors in our home which never wore out! I chose these snips not only because of them coming from an American company, but also because the J. Wiss Company has a customer satisfaction rating of over 90%. We love the quality and they cut perfectly, while allowing me full control on a curve. One blade has tiny serrated teeth, which prevents slipping while I work. The grip is comfortable, and I especially like the round tab with a hole, so I can easily hang it on a peg in the tool shed.

These snips perform great. Keeps your hands away from the work, which cuts down on nicks from the metal you’re cutting, if you are not wearing gloves. Really sharp and cut right down to the point, which is critical sometimes.

I am familiar with Wiss products. My late husband taught me tools well. Wiss is German made and very stout for multiple level projects. They are easy to grip and do a terrific job. I would highly recommend these for anyone needing snips.

SHARP, CUTS EASILY — The Wiss 9-1/4 in. Metalmaster Offset Snips is an excellent, high quality tool for cutting sheet metal. I wished that I had discovered offset snips earlier for it makes the task of cutting sheet metal so much easier, especially when cutting a round piece of metal. The handles are well designed and conform comfortably to the hand. The length is shorter than many snips which also makes them easy to use. Being sharp, and keeping your hand away from the cut makes this tool an excellent choice. It is made in the USA.

The Wiss 9-1/4 inch metal master offset aviation snips are well made. They have a comfortable molded handle that is a non-slip grip, and the offset cutter keeps your hands clear of the metal. There is a safety latch on the body to keep the cutter locked in the closed position and a hanging loop built into the handle end. The precision built performance includes a 4X spring life and a 6X pivot bolt life. Made in the USA!

Wiss metal (aviation) snips are known for their quality workmanship; and most are made in USA. While I have had Wiss snips in my workshop for several years, I also have some hand-me-downs that have been around for over 50 years. Making straight cuts of fairly thin sheetmetal with very old snips is still doable.However, Wiss has employed technology to make cutting curves in 18 gauge steel achievable with little effort while staying on the line.Wiss makes it easy to determine which ones are needed for a particular job. The handles are color-coded; and the package lists the gauge intended for, as well as left, right, or straight cut.
