## Description

Product Description Crescent Wises has taken the aviation snip to the next level with the advanced metal Master aviation snips. The precision cast molybdenum blades have conk ground Serrations which allow for more uniform Serrations that provide a cleaner cut every time. They feature extended pivot bolt life due to the superior free float design. The spring action design allows for fast, effortless feed. The all new latch design provides ergonomic single handed operation for left or right handed users. New extended non slip handle grips give users better control while cutting. The new generation of Crescent Wises metal Master will cut over 8 miles of steel and feature up to 10 times longer cut life than traditional aviation snips. They are available in left/straight cut, Right/straight cut, and straight cut. From the Manufacturer Wiss compound action snip with serrated blades to grab hold and aggressively cut through material, compound action to multiply the hand's force by five times and a self-opening spring action for a smooth low effort feed. The industry standard - the professional’s choice.

Review: Good product, very useful and well designed - A really good set of snips. The crescent brand has always been a good brand and I've relied on it and have bought them many times. They're sharp and they, cut smooth and they perform very well. I have had many pairs of these and I recommend them highly.
Review: The Real Deal Cutter - Don't make a mistake and buy anything else. I bought a clone that dented the blades the first cable I cut. This Wiss is HARDENED strong. I have one in my tool box that is at least 10 years old and is perfect to this day. When I moved I needed it but it was miles away so I had to buy another one. After the fake one broke, I bought another Wiss and it's perfect! No problems cutting anything over and over again. So save yourself money and get this one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this cut a penny in half?**
A: These snips will cut a penny.  Hold the coin with a pair of slip-joint pliers as it has a tendency to twist.  That made things much easier.

**Q: Will this shear able to cut precious metal sheets up to 20 gauges and thinner?? I am a jeweler designer and using saw is pain in the neck and time con**
A: The packaging in the image appears to indicate that it'll cut 18-gauge.

**Q: Will it cut 14 G metal sheet.?**
A: get a shear instead if you want to cut full sheets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Deal Cutter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly Tough Snips - Survived 6 Months Lost Outdoors!
*by J***G on May 6, 2025*

I purchased these Crescent Wiss M3R snips about 2 years and 4 months ago (around January 2023) for work on my farm here in Texas. My main use for them has been building wire mesh fences, and they've always been very effective and easy to handle for cutting the wire materials. What truly speaks to their durability, however, is this: I actually lost them out in a grassy field for about half a year (6 months)! They were exposed to the Texas elements – sun, rain, wind – the whole time. When I eventually found them, I honestly expected them to be rusted solid or unusable. But, after just a simple sharpening/cleanup of the blades, they were working again perfectly fine! These snips are incredibly tough and built to last, even under harsh conditions. Highly recommended farm tool.
