I’m a roofer in New Zealand, 99% of our work is metal roofing, we use the wiss and Midwest offset snips ( Midwest’s mainly for flashings) . You’ll find if you turn your snips upside down they’ll add another set of cuts to your arsenal and they offcuts will peel down rather than up.
Midwest are the best I've tried every brand and I always could get by with just the greens if I had to buy we used 16 g Sheet metal and sometimes the cuts had to be perfect and Midwest are the best I've used
This gay guy is annoying
What Terry said basically. But flipping them upside down can turn one set of snips into its opposite. What do I mean my that? Reds putting the cut/waste material on the left side; when flipped upside down will put waste/cut material on the right side. This will keep you from having to swap in most situations. I rotate and use red and green when I can for it’s practical purpose when I’m doing repetitive left and right cuts, but when it’s quick small stuff I need to cut, I’ll cut the not
Al way with a pair of reds then flip them upside down and cut with them.
@@QUANTRELLBISHOP rotating will make no difference at all
@@lukasz070485 wtf are these guys talking about :') still pushes the same side up
Was told when young green for right turns red for left, yellow for straight and sometimes my cut looked like I used a hatchet , now I know color for direction of waste and finish results are amazing.
Thanks Vince
Me: "This is a great video with good info!"
Guy in navy tee: "Good-freaking-grief how long can he go on about this?!?! I was just making a short cut!!!"
Great vid Vince!spent time as a 'tin knocker' reds and greens my big Malcos for straight runs. You're right. Whatever you are cutting the waste side curls out the top so as not to ripple your finish side. Be sure to lay the blade flat against work....your wrist will be cocked slightly right or left depending on snip choice. Tip on cutting penetrations in duck work. Place a screwdriver tip on edge in the center of your cut andhit itwith hammer. This will leave a hole. Use either red or greens and cut in a circular motion until you reach near the edge of your finish cut. The metal you've removed looks like a cork screw. Now you can trim the last of your metal for a perfect cut. Sounds like a lot but becomes very quick. Also lose the plastic handle. This will allow your hand to slip around the tool as needed. Keep em coming Vince.
I've always had dramas and difficulties using snips and choosing the correct one for a particular cut. It was even more difficult being a left hander, but you cleared up a lot of things more than anyone else even after being shown dozens of times.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Midwest offset snips are the way to go!!!!!
Reds and greens will do it all, and cutting circles are a breeze!
I agree Midwest is the best mine are 15 years old and work better than any others
Commercial tin knocker here !

Critical Sheet Metal Apprentice no i wish ... just a commercial company
I'm a GC that always avoided using snips.. Rarely had use for them but when I did, it would always be absolute frustration.. You're video really cleared things up for me and am now looking forward to putting your advise to use.. Thanks for the great info..
Thanks Bobby!
When I first started out in hvac doing installs 3 and a half years ago I definitely botched some cuts by not using the proper snips lol. The first dozen times using the malco nibbler I always went clock wise thinking it was like using the greens. You live and you learn. Wish i seen this video before making those mistakes lol. Great video man 👍
Thanks Dylan, we appreciate it!
I always thought they were directional so used yellow 100%. Im a lefty. After half of this video i went out and bought a red pair. And man they did make a difference. Thank you guys for showing this!!!
Thanks for teaching me something new Vince Didn't know any of this Good informative video
That is very nice cutting work. I forgot how these snips worked. I'm going out tomorrow to purchase a set because I have to cut stainless sheet. I had a set but they were stolen years ago and I see on Home Depot that I can buy a set of all 3. Tomorrow I will buy the set. I am a machinist and I'm going to be using the stainless steel sheet to protect A2 tool steel from scaling while I heat treat it.
i definitely needed greens installing a back pan in a curtainwall frame. we had to refabricate it, so one leg was longer. After install it was just proud of the glazing face.. struggled my ass of with the yellows trying to trim the leg down
Great advice Vince. I prefer the yellow for working with roof flashing. 🍻🤙
That's funny I use all three snips to to make perfect cut and my co workers always criticize me because I carry all three on my belt lol I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong
I wonder what their thought process is and what they’re laughing about? I guess the jokes on them!! 👍🏻
Your also 2 snips healthier than your coworkers. 😆
Lol are they laughing cause you carry more tools tgan they cary teeth . Idiots with crinkled cuts .
Depends what your profession is. Of you're a carpenter, then there is no reason to carry all three sets of snips with you at all times. If you're doing fascia, soffit, etc., then that makes sense. If you're framing, or installing cabinets, or doing base/crown...yeah, you're being silly.
Guys will always make fun of each other until it becomes illegal one day
Happy Saturday, VCG! Keep up the great job 👍🧰👍😍
❤️
If I was going to teach this to students, I would give them the 3 kinds of snips and some scrap sheet metal and tell them to cut away and then come back and _tell me_ what the difference is between them. I watched most of the video and for the firsts time understood what I was looking for, but it wasn't until I started cutting up some metal and paying close attention to what was coming out, that I appreciated the differences.
Awesome video. Always have loved my wiss snips. Thanks for the tips. Need more videos like this always
Man This A very Nice Demostration i see using this tools and give me idea what the proper tools I buy. Good Job.
Wiss just got a helloava order for there snips!
One Wiss snippy boi
Nah ....
Pro tip: flipping your reds or greens upside down will make them cut more like the opposite color. If you want you can cut the top bit of the track with your reds, then flip them upside down and cut the bottom of the track. It won't cut as nicely as greens but it will cut better then if you didn't.
I do HVAC. I always grab my reds and only use my greens if I have to. I also carry red offsets but never yellows.
I agree, yellows are just basically reds with different colored handles.
I’m a finish carpenter. I only use rights and lefts. Don’t see a need for straits because the rights and lefts cut strait also. But, I use the blue handle wiss rights and lefts. They are for cutting stainless or titanium. Best snips ever as far as I’m concerned. Sometimes you have to cut from the bottom of your material. So, just flip the snips over and go underneath and the material curves down.
Just a point of fact: On boats/ships the running lights are RED to port (left) & GREEN to starboard (right)
Thanks again Vince !!! I knew that there were 3 colors but not sure what each of them did? Great overview of what each one is for. Say hi to the Mrs and God Bless you 🙏🙏 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Thanks Rodney, we appreciate it, hope you’re well, and stay safe my friend!
Thanks man, I grew up thinking that Red=right/Green=left,, ( like a boat) and yellow was straight. Damn, I'm almost 70 and I just learned something!
Thanks Vince always learn somthing new watching your vids,wishing you all well from the UK
Thanks Steve, we appreciate you!
Great vid. Thanks. You forgot to tell the audience the best use for aviation shears: Opening up hard plastic clamshell packages!😊
😂👍 defineltly that too!
Learning a lot that I don't learn in the field. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks Drew!
Been subscriber for a minute but haven’t paid close attention to the channel. But man you guys go into damn good detail. Really good shiz man.
Thanks for a very informative video! Well presented & full of hands on experience & knowledge! Cheers from Western Australia!
Had no idea the colors signify each unique purpose for cutting waste direction. Super helpful thanks for the tip!
My dad had a pair I used in the past yellow, I might buy a new pair though I remember using the dual hand cut shier one time in my past. Those are great for duct work. Currently, I use tin snips. I tried the Kobalt Vinyl Siding Snips though not as good as Wiss Aluminum Snips from using both to cut siding though tin snips cut easier then Aluminum Snips. I sometime use Aviation Snips, if handed to me, which I also looked at the way the metal would cut though they only had one type instead of all of them. I would like to see green in heavier gauge like the red is currently. Thanks for the video Vince.
Thanks Bryan we appreciate the feedback
Great video. I find I can cut very smooth straight long lines with yellow easily, as long as you cut off a lot of the waste first.
I'm glad there are still true craftsmen out there. People who know what the hell they're doing. This was a wonderful video!
I think I knew this but had forgotten! Thanx VCG!
gutter installer here
i always have my reds in my back right pocket and greens in the left
they way i memorized it is to have the waste material on the lower shear side
Thanks for the feedback wazoo117
I didn't know what I was missing out on, welp now I have to get a pair of red and green snips to play around with.
Thank you noe buentello
Many thanks God bless you for sharing your useful experience with us
Nice video for beginners. I prefer nowadays using my cordless Hilti grinder for most all my sheet aluminum cuts as a Glazier. Keep up the good work VCG. Gonna miss the weekend streams tho😕
Thank you Matt! We are working on the weekend streams
I think there very good actuate cutters over all,also I can say I learned something totally new today at least.mu primary cutters are yellow.
Thank you for the feedback anthony!
Wow..... I never knew this.... it's crazy to think a tool works better when you use it the way it was meant too.
Thanks Andy!
Thanks for the content. It's helped me understand proper use of these tools, how and why they function the way they do. I've been building barns for a while. Now finding myself in a position of lead more often, I can no longer Wing knowing how to do things properly.
I love these videos! I learn a ton from them
Thank you steven!
thank you brother!👍👍👍 ..😁💓💓💓 from the Philippines!👍👍👍
One of your better videos! Thanks
Lolol I totally just watched this even though I would never have to use this on the job. Vince you do an awesome job of making shit interesting.
It all makes sense now lol. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 solid video bud
Awesome video, thx a lot! You saved my project!
Very educational. Thank you Vince.
Very cool video.
I am a user of the Midway brand. I like the educational format of your resend video.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Stephen!
Thanks for all the examples of using them! That was fantastic over the lip service run into a bunch.
Carpenters local 83, framer formworker scaffolder, just getting into commercial/highrise cladding. Thanks for the info!
You drilling the hole was the key for me.
Nice Video! Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching!
Helpful, thanks. Had no idea
I have one issue with the demonstration (hopefully I can describe it correctly). When cutting the rectangular waste in the middle of the sheet, you made full cuts. That is to say, the snips were fully closed on each forward stroke. This is a sure fire way to damage the nice straight line you are trying to make by forcing the material up on the left side and down on the right side at the end of each cut. The correct way was demonstrated when you used the yellow snips to cut off the back of the channel at about 2:25. I do appreciate that the finished cut may not be seen in this particular application however when it does I recommend that you do not use the whole length of the cutting action.
He rushed it. it was to showcase color and waste handling.. He did fine non-full cuts on the other examples
Not to mention using the full cut is a great way to leave fish hooks to stick your fingers on.
You guys make this look so easy lol.
So if that’s the case does that mean that the red and yellow snips essentially do the same exact thing?
Circles in duck work. I only have red but now I am going to get the other two to see if it makes my life easier.
Buy them 'offset'. Makes them easier to use for long cuts
Thanks for the simple explanation.
So im a lefty and just starting out in drywall, so I'm being told a million different things from everyone. I'm working with a lefty and he told me to use green others have told me dont use green or red just get yellows cause they do it all.
So lately ive been using green and just having my waste piece on the left side and that seems to be working for me. I feel like most of the guys I've worked with would probably ask me what the hell im doing if i was switching between snips all the time😂. The one thing i know for sure is im going to buy a pair of those wiss snips this pay. Got some milwaukee ones right now and the springs week, they bind up all the time
Great video, man. Picked up the Crescent Wiss 9-3/4 snipes.
Had no idea the yellow handles served a greater purpose. Thank for the education.
/Bklyn👑
That makes sense thanks for explaining it. I had no i idea.
For long cuts use pattern shers
What if you need both sides of the cut. What do you use than?
Glad the rookies are getting some teaching from this guy. Lol.
Good info. Great video!
this combination scissors is a good, specially for making 90% the gutter, etc.
Also good for diffrent angle cuts like duct work or cutting circles
Im a noob in DIY and the sales man is a noob too. He asked me if a was a right handed or left handed and suggest i should buy the green because i am a right handed. After watching this video i now know that there are cuts that seems not right
WOW! Brilliant!
Whats funny is I usually use yellows and greens for metal building trims. Very rarely do I bust out my reds. I like the finish of greens if used for the proper cut and yellows just don’t get the angle.
Really good vid. Thank you.
Very informative.... ThankU..!
Thx for sharing your knowledge 😊
❤️
very useful explanation. thx!
A good tutorial on tin snips.
very educational. thank you.
What's the point is the straight cut if you can already cut straight with the other two though
Oh wow i get it finally. considering your an advocate of milwakee tools . ANd milwakee tools likes to spread good info and knowledge to the ppl ! thats why there snips have little color diffrences
That was very informative and it will help me with my work , thank you guys !
Can you cut through a steel plate with those? I need to make a cylinder guard security plate shorter?
at 2:05 if you flip red snips 180 degree ( to cut with snips upside down) inted changing snips to green, you will get the same effect like swiching red to green snips.
Your so informative bigman definitely opened my eyes
OK, to sum it up, the green keeps the left-hand side straight, and the red is for the right. So, what's the difference between green and yellow?
What tape are u using in this video
Crescent shockforce nite eye
Left right straight. I thought you were coming up with some revolutionary new techniques, man 😂 I usually only use snips to cut drum cymbals, so I skip those three and go for the bullnoses anyway 🤣🤷♂️
This is revolutionary to some people!
I missed seeing the difference between reds and yellows. It seemed they both discharge on the left. Can someone explain that better to me?
I found a tool deal from lowes it's a 6 tool combo kit 24v max brushless kit for $112
Did you buy it?
6 tools for $112? Seems like a loss leader. I'll bet it was all bare tools or came with 1 battery. Even still, it seems like a really good deal.
Never knew! Thanks Vince.
Thank you Tom!
Can snips be used to cut 1/16 aluminum? how about 22 gauge automotive steel body sheets?
Useful practicum. 真正的專家！👍
Makes a man think. Not sure I want to but, cat's out of the bag now. Good job Vince. Now get on that wall! Lol.
Hey, thanks for that that was actually really informative.
Thank you levi!
All the short words go together. Red, left, and port. All the long words go together. Green, right, and starboard. It works with boat navigation lights, and which side of the boat, and it works with snips.
Oh no ! I just bought the red one from Menards I didn't see the viedo til now . I want to cut the top of my wood blinds that is metal because it's to long .Will I still be able to use this red one ? Thank you for this viedo.
looking straight at the top part of blind I will be cutting on the right side can I still use the red ?
Great video
can these cut 20 gauge metal?
Wooooaaaah!! Thanks vince! I'm going to try that on my L Channel ends in tile showers!!
What if you just cut them flip the snips to do the other cut
I do gutter and i use them every day but i can use both off them but i use the red one more but it look like ur graving the sisters upside down
