J. Wiss & Sons Tin Snips

[Postsedan]

I picked these up yesterday for $3

J. Wiss & Sons Tin Snips #7 - 14.5 in length. I did a google search. Appears that the handles were a "Gun Metal" color and "Red" around the name as shown in pics.

Anyone have a set of these?

I have those and they have caused more pinching and blood blisters than any other tool.

Zeke,

Sorry to hear that.....I can see how this can happen. It works for me, as I have really HUGE HANDS

Wiss Snips:

From the top:

Inlaid Specials (For alloy and SS steels)
Inlaid Specials, 5 BD
No.7 Inlaid
No 8 Inlaid
No. 9 Inlaid
No. V13 7 inch

You can see the inlay on your after pic, as the darker section on the blade. It is a high carbon steel making the snips keep their edge longer and have a little more capacity for heavier sheet.

For more info, do a search for "Sheetmetal Snips 101" here on GJ

Wow, I gotten my share, but never from snips... (damn cable cutters, though...)
