the best tin snips you can get

 

[alfazer]

Hands down the best tinsnips for nipping 12 year old hands in high school metalwork class. Those little pimples just behind the pivot.
Don't ask me.

I bought these 7" curved jewellers shears at the Spring Beaulieu autojumble on Saturday. Any item at the Beaulieu jumbles is usually expensive but I found these by digging through a big pile of mainly junk tools and paid £1. They have never been abused, are very sharp and will cut aluminum drinks cans very cleanly.

Blisters come as an option with every pair.

YMMV

 

[RTM]

Blisters come as an option with every pair.

Unlike using a slide hammer nail puller, where the blisters were mandated.

Great!

I wish I’d acquired a pair (straight and curved) of the jewellers snips when I could have done. I never thought there would become a time when they were unavailable.
