I bought my Craftsman Compound Leverage Snips to trim and cut some corrigated metal on a project at my house. These snips are sharp and cut very well with little effort. The grips are very comfortable and easy on your hands when using them. I made my marks on my sheets of tin and these cut right on the line and looked good when I finished my cuts. these snips are very sturdy and the blade do not flex to turn out of place when you are cutting. They come with the Craftsman hand tool warranty which is also comforting. Very nice set of snips in my mind and they are also stmaped Made in the USA and I would recommend these snips for anyone needing to cut sheet metal on your projects.
Normally I am a huge fan of anything marketed by Craftsman. These snips are an exception, however.
Sure they work as intended, and I've never had any trouble from them, but when you buy Craftsman you just expect more.
Maybe I am just spoiled by Craftsman's innovative designs, but these snips are almost exactly as the lesser brands. I know what you are thinking. They are tin snips, how innovative can they be - right? Well, if anybody can improve the generic tin snip, the Gods of All Things Tools can.

The Craftsman snips are as good if not better than the mord expensive ones you get at the supply houses.

This cutter works very well for cutting right hand turns in sheet metal. I have worked almost exclusively with sheet aluminum out to about 60 thousandths thick and these cutters work well on that thickness. Any thicker, or steel thicker than about 20 thousandths, and you need a beefier tool. Another reviewer pointed out that these are the same as lower priced tools. I might add they are the same as more expensive versions also. This is a staple, a "commodity" tool. The main reason to buy Craftsman is the warranty, although I have never seen anyone manage to break a set of shears. It would be nice if Craftsman added some value to the tool with additional features. "Sacramento" Bruce Conklin
