I've not tried that exact one but did try some of an almost identical design and couldn't get on with them and went back to my usual Wiss snips. Just recently I bought some Irwin aviation snips and they seen very good.

I had the basic Stanley set. Got given some fatmax snips by wack and started using them. 6 months later im back to the original set. The fatmax were heavier. Jammed easier and don't cut as nice.

Yeah, can't help thinking they'd be much better with a spring on them :RpS_thumbup:

Bought the jcb set out of b and q for 22 quid and the straight cut ones don't cut too well but the left and right ones do, just need to work out best way of holding them.

tried a pair like that once,, also could not get on with them (kept jamming on the beads) i am using wiss at the moment but might try the ones essexandy has got, they look good and well priced

Wiss all the way for me they are only £3 dearer and are proven, if you buy the ones above and they end up crap, you'll kick yourself mate.

I use these for cutting mesh cloth corner beads,there just like heavy duty scissors.

Wiss are the best I've tried and still use,never jammed yet.

Stanley 45 degree red handle ones for me

 

[marcsouthagate]

Milwaukee set, paid 17 quid cash for them and i rate them quite highly, years service all as good as the day i got them. Just keep giving them a blast of gt85 to keep them fresh.

 

[scottie5]

Wiss for me.

As said the yellow wiss ones are the Bentley's of the snips world.
