The trim snips above are designed for cutting mitres on plastic trim. Plastic trim accounts for about 1% of the trims I use today. These do not cut metal. I use the Genesis mitre box for all trim cutting. The above snips don't even mitre plastic trim anyway, as they tend to squash the round edge trim during the cutting process. You therefore don't get a true 45deg cut.
You have now just prompted me to remove this tool from my toolbox.
Totally agree, useless.
