wiss rocks

I have a pair of wiss snips. risspy is right: they are excellent.

But, Crisspy claims the straight (yellow) snips are useless. I disagree! I use them for opening the tough plastic packaging that so many computer supplies (cables, etc) often come in. :-)

This is new stuff to me. My case seems to be pretty thick. The pic is probably unnecessary but I attached it anyway. Do you think these snips will still work? Do I need both colors? I will probably never use them again. Thanks.

I have actually put together a new rig and I'm doing the mods tonight. I am just going over the article and brushing up on the technique. I went with the Stanley 14-256 snips. Maybe I'll post a pic when I'm finished.
