Review: Cuts Metal Credit Cards - I own several cutters and tin shears but none of the would cut up my metal credit cards- these do! I won't say they cut like a knife through warm butter, but they get the job done. The blades are strong and sharp and there is nothing cheap about the quality of the cutters.
Review: best snips, period, full stop - freaking fantastic snips for long straight cuts in thick gauge trim metal (Z metal flashing around windows, and drip edge metal into gutters, many many linear ft of long straight cuts for a custom job) absolutely the best snips i have ever used, tried many diff types, brands, all are hard to use, wear out forearm muscles quickly, and leave little sharp shards/edges and never can quite follow a straight line, fighting the tool the whole time believe the reviews from experienced guys who say these are the best snips, their go-to, etc they are fantastic, well made, i couldnt be more happy

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these cut heavily embossed Antique tin ceiling tiles? They are not flat they have decorative images stamped into them. Thank you**
A: It depends on how high the embossing is. The jaws of this snippers are 1 inch wide at the tip and 3/8 inch wide about halfway in. If you can't get enough of the cutting blades around the tin, you won't have enough leverage to cut. I'd say, if the embossed tin is no higher than 3/8 inches, you should be fine. If it's higher than that, I'm not sure.

**Q: What are these rated for? Like what guage metal can they cut? I need legit bulldogs**
A: I usually cut 18 -20 gauge.  Various patterns on slow turns and angle cuts.  I have other tools for long straight cuts.  Will these handle 18 Gauge?

**Q: Would these work well for cutting tin ceiling tiles/backsplash?  Or would a different model work better?**
A: I think they would work great!  I used them to cut a piece of metal from the porch roof...thick metal, and they worked great.

**Q: Would these work to cut openings into standard metal radiator cover? Thanks.**
A: love them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good
*by B***Y on November 26, 2025*

Works very well. Easier to work on corrugated metal then the regular size aviation cutters . After use put a film of oil on blades, they will rust. Inside a tool chest , inside a shop.
