EdmaEDM0101 Tinsnips/Aviation Compound Snips

Worn my 30yr old set out, had to sadly retire them and buy new.Great for cutting thin sheet metal, no burrs, no shards, no mess, no noisy power tools. Just add a drop of light oil to blade before use, brilliant 👍

Was a Christmaspresent for my son-in-law and he had already been nibbling away at a lot of things very successfully!

I first bought one of these when computers were the size of a room and fed by punched cards. Computers have improved but these were a perfect piece of design when issued. Why not use an electric nibbler? These can be used when there is no power supply where you are working and cost about a tenth of the powered equivalent. Why not use an angle grinder? Again, lack of power supply, plus this will not burn the place down with all the sparks falling on flammable material. A pair of stout gloves is essential but the material on both sides after cutting is nowhere near as sharp or dangerous as you might have thought. It is refreshing to be able to use a tool without the need for safety glasses.
