They feature extended pivot bolt life due to the superior free float design. The spring action design allows for fast, effortless feed.

The new generation of Crescent Wises metal Master will cut over 8 miles of steel and feature up to 10 times longer cut life than traditional aviation snips. They are available in left/straight cut, Right/straight cut, and straight cut. From the Manufacturer Wiss compound action snip with serrated blades to grab hold and aggressively cut through material, compound action to multiply the hand's force by five times and a self-opening spring action for a smooth low effort feed. The industry standard - the professional’s choice.

Review: Good product, very useful and well designed - A really good set of snips. The crescent brand has always been a good brand and I've relied on it and have bought them many times. They're sharp and they, cut smooth and they perform very well. I have had many pairs of these and I recommend them highly.
Review: Excellent Snips - This is a really nice pair of snips. I work with silver and gold and wanted a bigger one for thicker sheet. I've had my trusty, small snips for over 25 years and while I love them and use them every time I work, they just can't cut much over 24 gauge. I decided to go bigger, and based on some suggestions from fellow 'smiths, I went with Wiss. I got the straight cut. These puppies are SHARP and powerful. I've done 18 gauge annealed sterling silver with no problem and suspect 16 gauge would be ok, too, if you've got a good grip on your metal. They cut straight and clean. They are sharp enough that during the second half of our maiden voyage (while employing in a manner I'm certain is not recommended by the manufacturer) I cut the middle finger of my left hand badly enough to warrant 4 stitches. All in all, these snips are fantastic when they are being used as they are intended to be used. I've not tried them on any ferrous metals or anything else except my finger. On which they cut like butter...clean through that fleshy pad, but easy to stitch and fast to heal. I was going to include a photo, but because of which finger it is, it's rather obscene.

**Q: Will this shear able to cut precious metal sheets up to 20 gauges and thinner?? I am a jeweler designer and using saw is pain in the neck and time con**
A: The packaging in the image appears to indicate that it'll cut 18-gauge.

**Q: Will it cut 14 G metal sheet.?**
A: get a shear instead if you want to cut full sheets.

**Q: Dear Seller!! Wiss M3R, It's includes 3 piece and made USA?! let me know, please! Thanks!**
