Amazon Basics 3-Piece Aviation Snip Set - Left, Right and Straight Cut

This 3-piece tin snip set from Amazon Basics is a versatile and reliable addition to any toolkit, perfect for cutting sheet metal, stainless steel, and even thick plastic that standard scissors wouldn't manage.The straight-cut snips work effectively with materials up to 18-gauge mild steel (1.2 mm thick) and handle thinner stainless steel fairly well, provided it’s not overly thick. The left- and right-cut snips are better suited for thinner materials like 20-22 gauge mild steel (0.8 to 0.6 mm thick). While they might not be the best choice for any heavy-duty metalwork, they’re ideal for light projects requiring precision and control.Beyond metal, I’ve found these snips surprisingly great for cutting through thicker plastics.The serrated blades maintain a firm grip on materials, ensuring clean cuts, and the sharpness is decent enough for consistent performance.The rubberized handles are comfortable to grip and make cutting easier on the hands and the latch lock is a thoughtful addition for safe storage.Overall, these snips deliver great value for a wide range of cutting needs. Whether you’re working with metals or thick plastics, this set offers durability and functionality at a reasonable price.

These cutters are very comfortable to hold, are a good weight well built, a good size and cuts well. There are 3 cutters in the pack one straight cut, one offset left cut, and one offset right cut. The cutting quality and accuracy are very good. IMO these cutters are good value for money only time will tell how durable they are.

Did the job of cutting a carpet up and a thin sheets of metal - So I'm happy about that. The downside is that the grip is a tad (for the cutting motion) is on the large size. I would give it 5 stars if I had above average hand size

Good sturdy set

I do like these as there added to my tool set and good quality tin cutter would recommend them to any toolshop.
