Someone posted this on a Miata forum I frequent, thought it was very well made and showed me how I've been doing things wrong for many years

I can't believe I watched the whole thing, but it was pretty informative. I've been using those snips for well over 30 years. I prefer Irwin's myself, but Wiss are good. He is correct...the cheap Harbor Freight or Chicago Tools ones are complete junk.

This brings back nightmares of doing HVAC duct installations in attics where the insulation was already blown in in the middle of summer.
