I used to have a really useful set of very small wire snips - a

[Note: just found a small pair of needle nosed pliers and managed to
look up the maker. Then Googled. Mainly US hits, but £plenty!]

I now look at those available on line and I can't tell the difference
between good quality precision engineered and cheap ones from crap
steel.

Something like
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PRECISION-MI...ERS-nipper/dp/
B00439KLYE/ref=zg_bs_1938883031_11
perhaps.

Any recommendations?

I'd rather spend more on a good pair than keep replacing cheap ones.

Lindstrom , now actually owned by Snap On, ball bearing steel, really
don`t get better , from about 20 quid on ebay.


Thanks to reponders.

After I posted (having looked at Amazon and the like and seen the
Lindstrom at £50ish) I found a set on eBay around £20.

Think I will go for them.

Turned up today and they certainly look like the real thing.

The hinge has changed from my ancient ones, but they do look like the ones
on the web site at http://www.lindstromtools.com. I have a pair of 7190
snips.


Cheers
