[Richard Cranium]

That is a new one. Next time I need some, I will be getting these.

 

[ssdave]

Thanks, Bill,

Ordered a pair of left and right. Never knew they existed, I had left, right and offset, never seen these ones.

 

[four.cycle]

come on, Bill... you're takin' all the fun out of slicing up my right hand!

LEFT $20.70 shipped:

Fun channel.

...and the guy immediately receives 100 points for the Ali G. reference.

 

[WWheeler]

Just ordered a right one $18.50 shipped on Amazon

What's the difference between left and right?

 

[OccupantRJ]

Green handle, red handle, one cuts a curve to the left, one to the right, as far as expelling waste. Color code is same as aviation markings. Red on left, green for right. To remember, green and right have more letters in the words, red and left have less letters.

 

[OccupantRJ]

I ran up on a new couple of right and left about a year ago at a yard sale for $4. I don't think anyone else who saw them knew what they were for.

Thanks Mr. Bill, it's always great to learn new things.

I can really appreciate not cutting my hands when cutting sheet metal.

...Red on left, green for right. To remember, green and right have more letters in the words, red and left have less letters.

My favorite mnemonic for L-R is this: "Is there any red port left?"

Checks all the boxes.

 

[rockwithjason]

I have seen those around and wondered about them, never knew anyone that had them to give them a spin.

 

[mrobins297aaa]

red's cut to the left and you use them with your right hand
green's cut to the right and you use them with your left hand

 

[karl1672]

port and starboard

 

[Professur]

red right return ... nope, doesn't hold water.

I hate to admit it, but I bought 10 pairs of these on one of the penny closeouts at Home Depot. They're my favorite snips now! I've got a red/green set in the car, at work, and in several places throughout the shop.

green's cut to the right and you use them with your left hand

I use one in each hand sometimes.

I saw these at HD too, but couldn't figure out how they were used.

Now I know.

Now I'm going through this YouTube guys entire list of tool videos.

"You Need This Tool".

Bill: I Admire the Accuracy of Your Crystal Ball
It helped see thru the Witchcrafted Trance of Enough Tools.
Starting with some overdue air duct expansions,those snips will be welcome.

 

[Jazz1]

Build it they will buy it....no wonder some guys need toolbox big enough to qualify for their own zip code.

 

[unslow1]

The tool that interested me was the bolt chamfer one. I have a few friends that run tire & brakes shops.

 

[MikeF2316]

Ive seen those hanging on the pegs at Princess Auto. They should be going on sale sooner or later!

[mbatarga]

I don't need them. Already got Red and Green when on clearance - I think at HD. Must have been 2 or 3 years ago.

 

[2oolhound]

What's the difference between left and right?

Red ones cut from the left (unless you turn your work over or start at the other end of the cut)
Green ones cut from the right (unless you turn your work over or start at the other end of the cut)

 

[bczygan]

I've spent much of the day going through the guys videos.

And damn, there are a lot of cool tools I'm going to want.....!!!

[mrobins297aaa]

me too, every time I have to cut a piece of duct that's already put together

Here's an excellent video demonstrating proper use of snips. It was posted by a member in another thread, I don't know if the member made it.

 

[Empty Pockets]
