"HIGH-POWER"
WISS TINNERS' SNIPS PRECISION GROUND -INLAID STEEL BLADES
The Wiss "High Power Tinners' Snips" (marked*) are precision
ground and specially tempered to cut hard allqy metals such
as Stainless Steel, Monel Metal, etc.
Wiss Tinners' Snips are are superior in quality and construction
-in shape, in cutting edge, in strength, in test, and in finish.
A piece of the finest Crucible Bar Steel welded to the inner
side of their blades gives Wiss Tinners' Snips a perfect lasting
cutting edge-an edge that will not break or chew the work,
and which remains sharp an extra long time.
The severe factory tests to which we subject our Snips enable
us to guarantee every pair to do its work competently.
