"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.
