Our blades have Amazing Strength, Precision, and Consistency due to our exclusive casting method.
Another proprietary process creates Superior Blade Serrations.
Our finer serrations spread the force of the cut across the blades for a Better Material Grip, Cleaner Cuts, and Longer Blade Life.
Only Crescent | Wiss combines the shape consistency of investment casting with our proprietary serration process to produce blades that cut up to 8 miles of steel...more metal than any other snips.
Continuous improvement means never being satisfied. That's why these new Next Generation snips last 60% longer and require 20% less force to cut on average compared to our snips from just five years ago. And that's why Crescent | Wiss is the undisputed leading brand of snips for sheet metal professionals.
We make them just like we used to... only better.
