Title: NEW OFFER:Wiss UC-8 Utility Cutters/Tin Snips $10.00 shipped
Post by: amecks on February 15, 2015, 04:57:05 PM
UPDATE 2/28/15 : Does anyone want just the smaller Wiss cutters?  $10 shipped.
Will be moving these to eBay in a week or two.



Two utility cutters shipped USPS Priority Mail for $15.00.  ($16.00 if by PayPal)
Wiss UC-8 utility cutters in very good condition. I have been using these fairly regularly to cut thin sheet metal.  They operate smoothly and stay adjusted.  I hate to part with them but I have others.  8 inches long, marked WISS USA,  and PATENT 1894788 UC-8.  The patent number comes up as an anti aircraft gun aiming device! WTH!

The tin snips are marked R.S. & W.CO.  FORGED STEEL  EAST BERLIN, CT.  These are in as found condition.  I have tried them and they will cut metal - but they could probably use some work.  The pivot is good and the lock nut good.  The blades seem to have a tight spot near the end of the cut.  They need some TLC to be completely useful.  About 13 1/2" long.
