Wyss snips or at least fairly accurate copies . The best available of the so called aviation snips here in Australia .
The tool of choice for any plumber .
The handles are usually color coded , red for right hand cuts , green for left , yellow for straight and blue for stainless steel or other tough metals .

Are any of yours stainless steel ? I thought that was odd and what sold me on them .Also when they close tiny serrations at
the edge of the shear mesh together perfectly, little fine teeth .

The serrations are a feature of the WISS brand , I spelled it incorrectly in the first post .
I have nine or ten pairs I have collected over the years , they seem to last forever as long as you lubricate the edges every now and again .
The Portuguese have made imitations of them for sometime now . There is nothing to show that they are not as good if not a little better than the originals .

Any WISS or other quality snips I have seen had the manufacturer's name or trademark on them. No name or mark says they are copies to me. JMHO

My 50 year old Wiss has no serrations but the 2 Snap-On on the left do have and I suspect Wiss make them for Snap-On.
