I’m glad you mentioned the grip issue I’ll stick with Midwest. I would like to try malco and some of the European brands and see the difference. I do about 4-5 kilometres of gutter each year plus downpipes and flashings occasionally and the Midwest are definitely worth buying
Wiss made a great pair of snips back in the day until they were bought out by Cooper. What used to last you a couple of years in the sheet metal trade is down to a couple of months.
Channel Lock are Midwest rebrands, they show up on Midwest’s website even. The Channel Lock grips are the original Midwest grips before Midwest changed their grip style.
I love midwest but it's hard to find them in my area. Menards is the only place to get them for a great price. I have wondered if channellock are midwest snips because they are so similar to the old style midwest snips. I'm convinced that channellock is midwest snips.
