Review on MIDWEST Aviation Snip KUSHN POWER MWT-6510R by Joshua Castillo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing special. Try other tools and methods to get more work done.

Nothing special. Arrived used. But the blades were still in perfect condition. Pretty good for smoothing, shaping and curves. However, this is not an improvement over my Wiss scissors; and they're no better than my BenchtopPro metal shears. In fact, BenchtopPro cuts the straightest and easiest of the three brands, the cheap private label. And all I really want are straight cuts. Great leverage. But if the main task is to use leverage and you need to make a lot of long cuts, switch tools. Use an angle grinder with a cutting disc instead. In many cases, a corded angle grinder delivers better cuts than a cordless angle grinder because it has more power. So if you've been relying on a cordless sander, take another look at the cordless sander. If you're still unsatisfied with the straightness and evenness of your cuts, try a Zip saw with a side rotary attachment or a Dremel SawMax. They are available with metal cutting discs and give you a table like skilsaw to prevent the work piece from wobbling on contact with the disc. Don't let these metal snips be your last resort for straight, clean cuts.
