See What Our Customers Say

9-3/4" Compound Action Straight, Left, and Right Cut Snips - M3R

Picked up a set of these to replace an older set that was worn out. The spring action is strong and doesn't wear your hand out as you're cutting. Was used for about a month, almost daily use, before submitting a review. Quality is great, and the tool holds up through contractor abuse, not just a once in a while tool.
