Great Value for Occasional Heavy-Duty Cutting

- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2025Size: StraightVerified PurchaseOur 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2025Size: StraightVerified PurchaseI heard these tin snips are just the right tool for cutting these metal credit cards. I can confirm they are perfect for it. Now I don't know if I will ever use it again though. Maybe in five years when my current metal credit card expires.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2025Size: StraightVerified PurchaseQuality 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2025Size: StraightVerified PurchaseBought 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.

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.
5.0 out of 5 starsI 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.Great Value for Occasional Heavy-Duty Cutting

5.0 out of 5 stars Kit completo (izquierdo, recto, derecho) de gran calidad
Size: 3-PieceVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
El precio por el las 3 piezas es excelente, enserio que la calidad que pone Amazon en sus productos es buena, ya van varias herramientas de la marca que compro y no me defraudan.
Las tijeras tienen buen filo, no muerden al cortar, tienen buen agarre y no se traban.
Me gustaron mucho y a un super precio.
Recomendadas totalmente.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Schere zum super Preis
Size: StraightVerified PurchaseKrass. Bisher wusste ich als Laie nicht, dass es so preiswert so tolle Scheren gibt ...
Mit Metallsäge, Winkelschleifer etc. war nichts zu machen, aber diese Schere schneidet das Blech wie Butter. Für den gelegentlichen Gebrauch als Heimwerker bestens geeignet. Ich habe zwar keinen Vergleich zu teureren Scheren, aber ich vermisse hier nichts. Für gerade einmal 10 EUR wirklich top.
