Silverline Aviation Tin Snips Straight Cut (CT18)

Ahoy, dear denizens of dexterity and aficionados of finesse! Gather 'round, for I've embarked on a scissor-wielding odyssey with the Tin Titans, and oh, what a journey it's been! 🌪️⚔️Unveiling these tin snips was like revealing Excalibur from its stony confines – except this Excalibur came with a handle that fit like a glove and blades sharper than the wit of Mark Twain. As I clasped these divine instruments, a thrill of empowerment coursed through me, akin to wielding the power of thunderbolts at a summer barbecue! ☀️⚡These snips – nay, these veritable magical shears – are the quintessential embodiment of precision. With each press, they cut through metal as smoothly as a knife through butter sculpted by Michelangelo himself. If Michelangelo had sculpted butter, that is. 🧈🗿No metal is safe, no curve too daunting, for these snips glide through with the grace of Fred Astaire and the tenacity of a bulldog chasing its own tail. If you've ever dreamt of crafting the Eiffel Tower from a sheet of metal or sculpting a metal swan to woo your neighbor, these snips are your winged chariot to metallurgical glory! 🗼🦢But hold onto your tool belts, for these Tin Titans are not merely utilitarian marvels – they're style statements! The sleek design, reminiscent of a stealthy ninja in the moonlight, elevates your workshop into a realm of elegance usually reserved for haute couture runways. If Marie Antoinette had these snips, she'd have proclaimed, "Let them cut tin!" before dipping into a cake of metal confetti. 🎂🗡️And let's not forget the ergonomic handle – a symphony of comfort and control that reduces hand fatigue as effectively as a hammock on a lazy Sunday afternoon. You can snip away for hours, with precision that'll make your dentist jealous and craftsmanship that'd give da Vinci a run for his sketches! 🎨✨In closing, my fellow artisans and sculptors of substance, the Tin Titans are more than tools – they are your artistic allies, your metal-cutting maestros, your companions in creativity. With these snips in hand, you're not just crafting; you're sculpting dreams, fashioning fates, and cutting through barriers as if they were made of buttery clouds. So, clasp these beauties, cut with courage, and let your imagination soar higher than a kite on a windy day! 🪁🔗Yours snippily,eVOLV – Sultana of Shears" ✂️🌈🔥

At their very low purchase price, these tin-snips have to be the bargain of the century! Nicely cushioned handles are a comfortable ergonomic fit and provide plenty of leverage. The business end cuts through thin metal as if it were cardboard. There's even a lifetime guarantee, if you register them online. My only criticisms are that the catch which locks the handles together when not in use, doesn't stay out of the way very well and can snag against the screw occasionally when you're using the snips. The blades are also slightly shorter than my previous set of snips, so that means a few more snips are required to get each job done. No big deal though. These Silverline snips have more than met my expectations at a very modest price and I have no hesitation in recommending them.PS. they're versatile too; have just used them to trim a plastic bath panel - far easier and quicker than using a hacksaw!

Bought off the seller Quieting out of curiosity, as I was intending to buy the “Stanley fat max”, but the price was almost 3x for a tool that I've used before and hadn’t made me jump up and down with joy.For me as a tool I might need a few times a year, it’s going to take a long time to get a return on investment, if I bought the Stanley ... that’s if I don’t lose it before then.It was the first item of my order to be dispatched and arrived promptly .For the £3.49 I paid at the time I genuinely feel guilty. The value of this tool for what it is is exceptional.Mine didn’t arrive packaged as “Silverline” but “jiacheng” And comes blank without branding but looks identical to the picture.With all the constant marketing in the industry for all these different lines of tools that are being rebranded and sold for a nice markup to fill catalogues and gain market share.I gave it a little test just so I could write this review and cut through the tin lid.Its at least equivalent to the Stanley fat max, although the blades are very Finely toothed on this one so if your going for a super clean razor edged cut then reach for another tool.But, in the sense you don’t have to worry about someone slicing a finger open touching a piece of freshly cut metal it’s probably better.Mine doesn‘t have much flex in the handles either so the tolerances must be quite good at the factory, looks like it can be tightened if it gets a bit sloppy with use as it’s got bolt.Definitely worth having even if just for abusing or cutting up cans... but as with anything, always a higher quality longer lasting tool out there for 10 times the price.But if your not using it everyday or even week then go for this, I’d say up to about 3/4 of the price of the Stanley it would still be worth it.

Work well, great quality

Easy to get a clean cut

This was to replace some tin snips that got stolen, but they are no where near as solid. I've tried tightening the screed but they loosen pretty much straight away. They cut will though.

The item arrived quickly. Does the job that I wanted them for. However no packaging, dirt on the blades and chipped paint. Possibly a returned item. For the price I find this acceptable.

Unbelievable value, sturdy and comfortable to hold and use, held together with bolts not rivets. Cuts tin cans with no problems, even the rim. This is one of those tools that won't get used much in a normal household, and at over £20 in my local hardware store I know I have a real bargain for that one off job.

Calidad precio

Usadas para cortar una plancha de acero galvanizado de 0,5mm.Sin ningún tipo de problema. Seguramente cortara bien hasta 0,8mm.

Ottimo qualità/prezzo

ist etwas kleiner als meine Andere aber ist auch nicht schlechter... Liegt gut in der Hand und schneidet gut. Bei mir sind es hauptsächlich 0,2 bis 0,8mm Bleche die ich schneide... Dafür ist sie PERFEKT

Veloce e puntualissimo servizio
