Review: Great snips I've been using this brand for over 20 years - I am plasterer these snips are the best for cutting plasterering metal beads ,way better than Stanley or DeWalt snips , they mitre first time everytime and last alot longer than the other brands I mentioned above Review: Sharp, robust, well made straight snips. Effective, effortless and comfortable - They go through 1mm brass sheet like sharp scissors through writing paper: effortless, one movement cutting. How they compare with other brands I can’t say, but in themselves they are excellent. Solid, well-made, comfortable in the hand (especially if you have large hands - the gape when they’re fully open is quite wide, although they’re perfectly easy to use even if your hands can’t stretch that far), well balanced and extremely effective. The blurb says that they’re good for eight miles of mild steel plate and I can quite believe it. They seem extremely robust, as well as wickedly sharp. They’re not the cheapest, but they are worth the money. A word of thanks to the reviewer of another make of snips on here who mentioned Wiss as his preferred brand. Good recommendation. ## Features - Self-opening action for fast, effortless feed - Unique blade serrations spread cutting force, improving cut quality and tool life - guaranteed to bring more than 20,000 cuts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00002N5KQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,650 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 2 in Snips | | Blade Edge | Serrated | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Wiss | | Colour | Yellow | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 10,065 Reviews | | Finish | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00037103580214 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | 1 x M3R Metalmaster Compound Snips Straight Or Curves 248 mm (9.3/4 inch) | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24.8L x 7.6W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Cuts Straight, Left and Right | | Item Weight | 0.75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Crescent Wiss | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year. | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | M3R | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | M3R | | Product Style | Cuts straight, left and right | | Product dimensions | 24.8L x 7.6W centimetres | | Style | Cuts straight, left and right | | UPC | 037103580214 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Yellow - **Material:** Metal - **Brand:** Wiss - **Blade material:** Carbon Steel - **Product dimensions:** 24.8L x 7.6W centimetres ## Images ![Wiss M3R Metalmaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight, Left and Right , Yellow, 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eKN-YXrOL.jpg) ![Wiss M3R Metalmaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight, Left and Right , Yellow, 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UgM40p3AL.jpg) ![Wiss M3R Metalmaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight, Left and Right , Yellow, 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cCdxs71KL.jpg) ![Wiss M3R Metalmaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight, Left and Right , Yellow, 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fY2zu6ydL.jpg) ![Wiss M3R Metalmaster Compound Action Aviation Snips, Cuts Straight, Left and Right , Yellow, 248mm/ 9-3/4-Inch - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qby0SbmQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm using this to cut steel for jewellery. Will it give a serated edge?** A: I use them for cutting metal an I get a clean cut **Q: Will these cut 0.9mm thick stainless steel which is 26.1mm wide? Thanks** A: Ives used it to cut 0.5 mm thick stainless steel and it did it comfortably but 0.9 might be beyond its limits **Q: will it cut 18 gauge** A: No, they will not cut that gauge **Q: Hi. are wiss aviation snips still made in the usa please?** A: No idea, as far as I’m aware they are but I bought these M3R’s and they lasted about 2 months cutting plastic beads for Rendering which led me to believe they weren’t. I have the M3X’s now and they are flawless. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great snips I've been using this brand for over 20 years *by R***N on 6 May 2026* I am plasterer these snips are the best for cutting plasterering metal beads ,way better than Stanley or DeWalt snips , they mitre first time everytime and last alot longer than the other brands I mentioned above ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, robust, well made straight snips.
