Great snips to have around the house or on the job. Mainly used them chicken wire and hardware cloth so far but I did do a test on the metal roofing pieces that I use for my chicken coop. Did a great job.

I purchased metal landscape edging and needed metal cutters to cut excess. These worked perfectly - like using scissors on construction paper! They were able to make curved cuts as well! Love these!

Decent tin snips, I used them to cut some shed skirting and they held up.

Review for RDIFASC Heavy Duty Scissors/Tin SnipsIn my opinion, these should not be marketed as tin snips: they really cannot cut anything other than the thinnest metal, like an aluminum drink can. I'd consider these as 'shop shears' or 'shop scissors'-- the tool you reach for when a normal set of scissors just isn't stout enough for the job: thick posterboard, corroplast, vinyl, webbing, leather, rubber, hose, etc. In my tests, they handled cutting sheet vinyl well, including some tight curves, and worked fine on weatherstripping and hose. They really struggled to cut through a truck-weight load strap (reinforced nylon web), and didn't even handle lighter weight motorcycle straps (typically 1" wide, and less than half the thickness of a typical truck strap) well.To see if I could improve them with minimal effort: I removed the hinge bolt (easy with a small wrench or socket), ran the straight beveled cutter side through a generic scissors sharpener a few times. (Don't try to sharpen the serrated blade of the scissors, though.) I installed the bolt again, as tight as it would go without binding when the blades moved. After doing this, the scissors cut well though both types of load straps. If you're willing to do that, I think you'll end up with a pretty decent pair of shop shears. The problem is I think most people expect that performance out-of-the-box, without additional effort.

When my father retired, he spent a time using a tin snips to cut and twist tin cans into cute little tables and chairs and rockers that were suitable for Barbie dolls and their houses.With no pending projects requiring tin snips, I made a few cuts to see what to expect.1st Cut: Galvanized tin about 1/32 inch or .023 in American Wire Gauge. The cut is clean with no rough edges. Effort = medium.2nd Cut: Sterling Silver about 1/16 inch. The cut is clean with no rough edges. Effort = easy.3rd Cut: Copper wire, #10. I didn't finish the cut.4th Cut: Paracord. No problem.5th Cut: Coffee can, metal. Cutting through the top seam required quite a bit of force. Effort = difficult. Cutting through the metal of the body...Effort = medium. The can was rusty and I did not inspect the cut.

Very thick and sharp snips. Great for cutting metal cable ties or thin sheets of metal in general. The handle is a bit cheap though. It is a plastic handle with a spring that can easily fall out if you are not careful. The spring in the handle is not secured and is just resting in a groove. It comes with a spare spring for the handle at least.

Cuts good very sharp, reminds me of garden shears but not curved, straight scissors. I love them so far after a week

These are nice snips and I appreciate the extra spring. I ordered these for cutting barb wire and they do fine as well as thin sheet metal, tin, etc. As heavy duty scissors they are great for cardboard, plastic, wires and all kinds of things around the house and ranch. Good quality and good functionality.
