Works very well good for hand tools

I was trying to cut some cans with some old scissors and ran into a problem. I ordered these and they cut through cans very easily. I look forward to using them for any metal cutting needs in the future. The locking screw is loose on one, but tightens easily. The only suggestions I have is to mark each with a cutting direction. They look almost the same, and I seem to have forgotten which color is for what, so I wrote on them with a sharpie. It would be better if it was engraved on the handle.

Pros
  • Set of 3 tin can cutters for easy cutting at any angle (left, right, straight)
Cons
  • not reliable

The right tool is "scissors for metal ".

I chose this cutter to process some decorative metal parts. My hands are small, never strong, and get weaker as I get older. Now I find it difficult to use scissors or other hand tools because I have found that I need 3 hands. I used what I call "metal snips" to cut thin metal. I was able to do that very easily. It was the difference between getting a task done or not. Success! I was amazed at the power this tool gave me. When my husband saw it, my husband immediately commented that it was good

Pros
  • 2-tone rubberized handle for a secure hold and precise cuts; a lock locks the tool when not in use to protect the blade; One-hand automatic release
Cons
  • old

Very strong spring. Painful to use

Why it hurts to use: First, the cutting blades don't open wide enough for smooth movement from the side of the handle, and I have long fingers and arms fit. To get the blades to cut more than half an inch at a time I had to open the thing all the way. Second, I've always struggled with the pen. So if I were willing to cut off 1/4 inch at a time, it would still hurt after a few inches of flimsy sheet metal or wire mesh (thin stuff!). great snippets I've had before and for not reading bad rated…

Pros
  • Backed by Amazon Basics 1-year limited warranty
Cons
  • Slightly torn
