Great Snips!
I use these snips all of the time for wiring HVAC and automated building control systems. The overall quality of the snips is very good and they have a great sharp edge. The ergonomic design feels comfortable in my hands too. The stripping notches on top actually work as they are intended. Unlike other snips, you don’t have to flip it over to strip wire.
A light coating of oil will ensure that these shears will last a long, long time.
My only complaint is the locking mechanism is difficult to use. The thumb latch needs to be redesigned to make it easier to unlock the snips.
Overall a great pair of snips!

GREAT SNIPS
When i first got these snips i was very excited to try them out. I must say these are great. They are razor sharp and i love how they are spring loaded. For the most part they are very comfortable but for someone with larger hands they can be slightly uncomfortable. The lock is a very nice feature but i can see the rivet becoming loose and locking on its own. Most of my tools have that issue no matter who makes them. All in all these snips are great all around data snips. I can certainly see these staying in my tool bag.

Most comfortable scissors ever!
These are the best scissors I've ever used on the job. I'm on a 450k square foot data job that has about 20 data rooms with 2 racks each. I started the job using another brand of scissors and my hand was constantly sore. These things were a game changer. They are spring loaded so they automatically open after each cut which puts a lot less strain on my hand. They're super sharp and cut so easily. The stripper works awesome for the wires inside cat6 cable too. These things have been beaten up on the job and still work the same as they did from day one. I will never be able to use another brand!

Cuts good
This is a nice little scissors. That being said, it's almost too small. It feels small when you hold it in your hand and it's kind of awkward to hold since you usually put your thumb in the small hold of a scissors but with this one you almost need to use your middle finger to do the squeezing and have the curved part in the palm. That's how it's. It's comfortable for me anyways. it's nice and sharp and cuts very well though. If you ever have a need to strip small wire, that works great too.

Sturdy desingn and cofortable grip
When first using this snip it was a little awkward, i was use to the traditional scissor design. But after acclimating myself with this snip I found it to be much more comfortable and better suited if you are using day in and day out. the spring and latch on this tool makes it much easier to use and it is more comfortable to use than the traditional scissor design.

Quality Snips
I received these snips last week and used them the same day I received them. You can instantly feel that these are well made heavy duty snips. They cut with precision with very little effort. I like that the snips lock in place and I put them in my bag same place every time. Best snips I have ever owned.

Good feel
Purchased these snips after using paladin and Klein. Feels very good in your hand and cuts very clean. Has issues cutting very mailable plastic bags. And sometimes doesn't cut the fiberglass rip cord inside of cat cable. Overall I am very pleased with these snips and would buy again.

Smooth cuts, great grip
I used these all day to do about 100 data punch downs for an office. They worked great and saved me a lot of time. The grip is comfortable. The cut was efficient. They're very good for getting into small places. The tool definitely makes the job easier.
