Joe Shmoe Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I agree & have already spoke with Scott about how crappy Wiss snips are. I am just tired of having to play around with the things constantly to get them to cut right. I think the only other brand our supply house carries is max200? something like that? I didn't really care for those either. I'm eager to try out the Klenks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 You'll love the Klenks. It's like going to Bose to Klipsch(EDIT LMAO). They used to have a killer warranty, too. Not sure anymore as I've been out of the field for 14 years now. And yes, i'm getting fat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott0527 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Tools for Tin knockers. I remember when I first got into the business, just about everyone used Wiss. Malco wasn't making snips then so the Wiss were mainstream. Then CC Dickson starting carring the Klenks. Much larger than the Wiss but man were they nice. People thought they were some BS brand but quickly realized they were a superior product. GO KLENK! Not another tinknocker?!!! Karl Klenk was the first to produce an aviation snip in 1934, so named because he worked for the Bellanca Aircraft Company when he designed it. He had about a dozen patents for snips and other cutting tools. I know all the tin snip lore since I work for Klenk. Karl was the PWK of aviation snips.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 These new DeWalt 36V tools look tempting,they should use LiPo cells,as these cells are very light and can supply 40-50 amps.LiPo cells are used in electric RC planes and cars,very light and have the amperage draw capabilities to drive multi horsepower motors at low voltages. Only "minor" drawback is...they can catch fire and explode if not charged properly.And all have a circuit to cut off the juice if the cell drops below a certain voltage.
