Review: Great value - A decent pair of diagonal side-cutters. Excellent value for money! I prefer CK cutters, but for a third of the price, these are a great option. Good size, comfortable in the hand and do the job.
Review: Great snips for the money! - Absolutely superb! I use them daily at work, cutting sealing wire, roughly the thickness of piano wire. I've now been using them for months, and they're still sharp!
