Crescent Wiss 9-3/4 Inch MetalMaster Compound Action Snips - Straight, Left and Right Cut - M3R

A really good set of snips. The crescent brand has always been a good brand and I've relied on it and have bought them many times. They're sharp and they, cut smooth and they perform very well. I have had many pairs of these and I recommend them highly.

Don't make a mistake and buy anything else. I bought a clone that dented the blades the first cable I cut. This Wiss is HARDENED strong. I have one in my tool box that is at least 10 years old and is perfect to this day. When I moved I needed it but it was miles away so I had to buy another one. After the fake one broke, I bought another Wiss and it's perfect! No problems cutting anything over and over again. So save yourself money and get this one!

I purchased these Crescent Wiss M3R snips about 2 years and 4 months ago (around January 2023) for work on my farm here in Texas. My main use for them has been building wire mesh fences, and they've always been very effective and easy to handle for cutting the wire materials. What truly speaks to their durability, however, is this: I actually lost them out in a grassy field for about half a year (6 months)! They were exposed to the Texas elements – sun, rain, wind – the whole time. When I eventually found them, I honestly expected them to be rusted solid or unusable. But, after just a simple sharpening/cleanup of the blades, they were working again perfectly fine! These snips are incredibly tough and built to last, even under harsh conditions. Highly recommended farm tool.

Solid pair of snips, if you work out side every day though, these are only going to last a few months!

I needed a new pair. The old one had lived a hard life before me and despise cleaning and more, it was time These felt solid in the hand. No wobble. Parts moved smoothly, no drag, no catching. They cut well. I was cutting aluminum soda cans for craft. Through the thick top and bead, not a problem. Through the body of the can, smooth cutting. These are straight cut, not right or left. They cut straight and clean. I was able to follow the straight lines I drew on the can to make curled frilly chair pincushions, quite closely spaced. The hook to hold them shut for easier storage works nicely as well. My hands and grip are not the best, but these were easy enough to work with. I have used them quite a bit and they are holding up well. Also, sheet metal is sharp, wear leather gloves when using these and safety glasses. If you get any part of a finger in these while cutting, they can into skin or cut some off. So take care. I try to buy quality well made tools for my money, These seem to qualify. Hope to continue to use for a long time to come.

I primarily chose this brand because they were made in USA and relatively close in price to the imported brands available. Just finished my project and they are high quality snips in my opinion and worked great. Thanks for offering an American made option.

This is a really nice pair of snips. I work with silver and gold and wanted a bigger one for thicker sheet. I've had my trusty, small snips for over 25 years and while I love them and use them every time I work, they just can't cut much over 24 gauge. I decided to go bigger, and based on some suggestions from fellow 'smiths, I went with Wiss. I got the straight cut. These puppies are SHARP and powerful. I've done 18 gauge annealed sterling silver with no problem and suspect 16 gauge would be ok, too, if you've got a good grip on your metal. They cut straight and clean. They are sharp enough that during the second half of our maiden voyage (while employing in a manner I'm certain is not recommended by the manufacturer) I cut the middle finger of my left hand badly enough to warrant 4 stitches. All in all, these snips are fantastic when they are being used as they are intended to be used. I've not tried them on any ferrous metals or anything else except my finger. On which they cut like butter...clean through that fleshy pad, but easy to stitch and fast to heal. I was going to include a photo, but because of which finger it is, it's rather obscene.

Have had many off brand Tin snips over the years but Crescent Wiss are the best quality by far - a solid American Made tool !

They work great until someone runs them over with a forklift... They don't come back from that.
