very well made and very comfortable to use. Sharp, and a nice weight. suitable for a multitude of uses. Delighted with the purchase

One of the standout features of the Stanley Aviation Snips is their cutting precision. The straight-cut design allows for clean and accurate cuts in a variety of materials, including sheet metal, aluminum, vinyl siding, and more. The sharp, heat-treated blades deliver excellent cutting performance, ensuring smooth and precise results every time. Whether you’re working on a construction project or tackling metalworking tasks, these snips provide reliable and consistent cutting performance.The snips’ build quality is remarkable. The blades are crafted from high-quality steel, which ensures durability and longevity. They can withstand heavy use and resist wear, maintaining their sharpness for extended periods. The robust construction of the snips enhances their overall stability and gives them a solid feel in hand, inspiring confidence during cutting operations.The ergonomic design of the Stanley Aviation Snips contributes to their user-friendly nature. The comfortable handle with a non-slip grip provides excellent control and reduces hand fatigue, even during prolonged use. The snips’ compact size allows for maneuverability in tight spaces and facilitates easy storage when not in use.The spring-loaded mechanism of the snips enhances their efficiency and ease of use. The self-opening action reduces the effort required for repetitive cutting tasks, allowing for increased productivity and reduced strain on the hand and wrist. The locking mechanism keeps the blades securely closed when not in use, ensuring safe storage and preventing accidental cuts. I would highly recommend as I am happy to add this to my toolbox.

This is the fourth I have bought, not because they wore out or broke. Quite the opposite. It is so good I gave one to son, daughter and sister, all of whom are as pleased with them as I was. Comfortable to use and with the longish handle makes cutting so much easier than any other I have used.

For most metal cutting jobs you might need several of these with different shaped cutters. I managed with this but it was tricky to cut a long piece of lead along a straight line. If I have to cut more I will probably get a couple of different cutter styles.

a brilliant set of cutters, super sharp and go through thick plastic like its butter. I purchased these for a job that required me to cut through corrugated PVC sheets. I tried large scissors, knives, and even used a jigsaw. The tin snips were the only one that cut with minimal effort and did not cause the plastic to split/shatter. I've also used them on cutting thick cable ties and again they made light work of it.i still use them regularly for anything thats needs cutting, definitely one of my favourite go to tools that i know won't let me down.

Excellent quality from Stanley, does exactly what it should.

Excellent value for money.

Sturdy pair of good strong snips. I've used them on mild steel, aluminium and lead. Great tool.
