Review on IRWIN 22012 Tinners Tool 12 Inch by Timothy Louis

These tin snips are exactly what you think they are and maybe more. I bought these to cut a discontinued metal credit card. If you don't know how hard it is to cut through one of them, consider cutting through a barbed wire fence, but it's harder. Everything I threw at him barely left a dent. Yes, I had the opportunity to give it to the bank, but unfortunately there was no one around me who would accept what I had to get rid of. Long story short, I did a little research online and figured out how to use metal shears. The reason they work so well isn't just because of the sharp blades, but the way scissors are designed: you put your entire hand (except your thumb) in the handles to cut almost anything. He tore up the credit card like hot oil - unbelievable. Highly recommended.
