Like many of the good quality American tools out there, Wiss is making junk now. I have to look at several pair before I find a pair that is tight enough to make a good cut. It seems that Wiss doesn’t understand that quality tools got them to the top of the snip market. But they are going down the drain since the canned the Quality Control Department. Somebody tell Wiss to hire a QC crew and fire the bean counter that is worried about profit margins and not the consumer.
