I have never owned a pair of offset metal snips and now I wonder, “Why not?” These snips from Crescent/Wiss, an established and reputable brand name, make complex cuts much easier to accomplish.In the past, I have made cuts and had parts of the metal I was snipping get in the way as I move across the cut line. The design of this tool allows the user to cut through the project without that difficulty. I tried cutting straight cuts, cuts through an irregular surface (like a rain gutter), cuts with rounded corners and a circular cut started with a pilot hole. All challenges produced excellent, professional-looking results. You can get snips with blades designed for either right-hand or left-hand radii if your project needs this level of precision.One of the best parts of this tool is it is made in the USA!! Thank you Crescent/Wiss for making this excellent tool.Be sure to use proper safety measures when working with sheet metal. Edges are very sharp!!

Very comfortable snips to use and the cutting is smooth and easy! My electrician was at my house when I received these snips and he used them to show me how easily this cuts through sheet metal (up to 18 gauge). I was very surprised that hardly any effort was used to cut metal. I’m a small woman and I was able to cut through metal like it was butter and it wasn’t too big and bulky in my hand.It has a unique total system design that requires 20% less force to cut. The total height of this tool is 11 inches. Blade length is 1.5″ The handle material is rubber. You can easily make straight and curved cuts through many materials.I’m growing my collection of hand tools as I tackle more DIY projects and I wish I would have had this tool years ago! This would have been perfect for curved cuts on my vinyl floor planks that I installed a couple of years ago. I highly recommend these snips!

GREAT OFFSET STRAIGHT SNIPS – QUALITY CONSTRUCTED – GREAT GRIPS THAT ARE EASY TO HOLD – THE 45 DEGREE CUTTING HEAD IS GREAT FOR A STRAIGHT CUT – THE SAFETY OF THE 45 DEGREE CUTTING HEAD IS FANTASTIC, NO MORE CUT FINGERS OR HAND FROM THE SHARP METAL YOU ARE CUTTING – GREAT FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM, SHEET METAL, ROLLED STEEL, COPPER, CARDBOARD, VINYL SIDING & I EVEN CUT LEATHER WITH THEM.

This is an excellent quality pair of offset snips. I own other Wiss hand tools, which I have used for years. Based on my experience, Wiss tools are durable and their quality is consistently very good. These snips are very easy to use. The blades are sharp and require little effort to cut sheet metal. Serrations on the blade help to prevent slippage. Other snips that I have used would bend and slip, and not make clean, straight cuts, especially with heavy sheet metal material. The yellow handle provides high visibility for locating the snips in the tool box, and is comfortable. A hanger is molded into the end of the grip.

It has a good design that allows the materials to remain flatter when cutting. I was cutting metal siding and both pieces were usable. You could cut it with regular straight cutters if bending the cut off didn’t matter. If your cutting a lot of metal they are a nice option to have.
