    thanks for sharing that I've got some with a collet too but sometimes running to the problem that's none of them quite fit the drill size I am using, so this would be much better.

    Thanks again.

          Enjoy reading the review Bob. There's a lot in the saying " You get what you pay for "
          Over the years I've bought many tools , when at work like you buying some "Snap-on " I would buy top quality because I needed reliability.
          At first in modelling I had those cheap snips, but eventually went for the Tamiya, certainly hadn't heard of that make you mentioned. Having read a review then I may have well bought those.
          My most expensive hand tools were a pair of Zucron pe snips, well worth the expense as they can cut so close. Just a pity I can use most of the PE :smiling2:

            Well I never! Similar to you, there are brands I've never heard of - in my case it's Zucron and they already come with a recommendation! Will do some research, Ta very much chaps!
