Customer Reviews for Crescent Wiss 8-1/2 in. Molding Miter Snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These molding snips are ideal for thinner material. The cut 1/4" pine nicely. Cuts of 1/2" material were hard to control because of the grip force needed to make the cut. Simple door casing was nearly impossible to cut.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These molding miter snips from Crescent Wiss are great to have if you do any kind of trim work. You can use them on MDF, PVC & pine trim and they cut all three easily. With the angles and measurements clearly marked, these miter snips save a lot of time and hassle from switching to your square and back. Excellent tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge time saver. No need to lay out angles on small trim and vinyl siding! Time is money and less time spent on the job site equals more money in your pocket. Would definitely recommend to other craftsman.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these about a month ago and found them to be very easy to use, cut multiple pieces of cabinet trim with ease. Angles on the gauge are precise and easy to read. Blade is incredibly sharp and the grips are comfortable even after an hour of use. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these to cut 1/4" trim to go around the windows on a toy barn for Christmas. It worked great on small wood trim. The markings make miter cuts on detail trim super simple. This is a tool you may not need everyday, but definitely great to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what it needs to without fail, smooth smooth cuts! Makes setting up the molding a breeze! The tool is super easy to use, pretty self explanatory. Workmanship appears to be extremely durable. Def a tool you should have in your set, do not pass it up. Shaves time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use a lot of PVC board because it’s maintenance free. This tool works great on the miter cuts. Inside and outside miters. I traditionally use my chop saw but this has made life much easier..........

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well to cut the molding on the spot without having the dust/mess caused by a saw. It left a clean cut. Although I have not used it for a ton of cuts, I did use it on multiple cuts when it was used and it cut all of them effectively. It made it easier to get the right length of cut, as it didn't remove excess material like a saw blade does.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this tool,I purchased simialar snips in past I was disappointed too small ,no cutting strength. I have new techs, I shown PVC molding & angle cuts ,precised&clean cuts.THANK YOU GREAT TOOL!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is something I never would have thought of. I still do the majority of my cuts on the miter saw, but these are fantastic when you need a little trim or adjusting the angle. Saves several trips back and forth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this tool last month and has been handy for quick and precise cuts of plastic edging look forward to using more in the next year . Would recommend this product for beginners to seasoned pros .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These miter snips work well with wood quarter round, did a small kitchen with them, and didn't have to unload a saw. Im curious to see how long the blade holds up on these snips, but so far so good. Haven't used them for anything larger than quarter round.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this when i did wiring for my speaker in the my basement. The tool was great and reduced a lot of effort cutting the miter angled cuts. The blade is sharp to cut the vinyl without any chips or damages. Happy to have the tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this tool for a few weeks now. I found it to be really well-made. I’ve use this quite a few times to cut small trim pieces and while woodworking. I like the locking mechanism. These cutters fit easily into a toolbox or drawer. I would recommend this to anyone working with small wooden trim that is looking for a convenient way to make cuts on the go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool is very handy for the small jobs. I only wish it was able to handle bigger material. Very easy to use...Very easy to understand. Great tool to have! Trim work this is got to be the easiest tool ever...only wish I could do larger materials.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes perfect cuts everytime. Such a handy tool to keep in my tool bag. I didnt think that it would be as useful as it was. I used it to cut my shoe moulding around my hardwood floors, and it did better than a saw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The molding miter snips worked GREAT on some 1 1/2” pvc . Cut like butter. One of the angle guides broke off though. Kinda bummed, but they’re still functional. All in all they’re easy to use, really sharp, and made by a great company. I dig em.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased about a month ago and the 8.5" molding Miter snips work just as expected. They cut to the required angles making it easy to fit the tight corner. These make it much easier by not having to lug out the miter saw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There positive stops on 45 left and right is a good touch. Cuts right thr through some pine with very little trouble. The only thing I with was that the positive stops were adjustable. I haven't tried it with pvc but this will definitely help me in a pinch with my wood working.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this recently for redoing quarter round in the kitchen. It worked great for cutting MDF quarter round. It was a huge time saver vs having to cut it all with the table saw. The angle finder was also very helpful. I haven't tried it on pine; however, I feel like that'd be a bit of a stretch for it; I can't see it being able to cut that unless you have some amazingly strong hands. Overall it's a good tool and a real time saver when used with the right materials. It's also just a good general purpose cutter to have around the garage.

The molding miter snip does the job. Not super sharp so a lot of jagged or splintering edges.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blade was not razer sharp. It had jagged edges and burrs. When cutting miters the blade deflects and does not come down perpendicular. Cuts do not make a tight joint. The small "fence" only works at 45 degrees. With the blade deflection it is hard to hold the trim against the stop. The markings for other angles are for reference only as there is no way to secure the trim to the marks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Neat concept but seems to need some finessing, for instance, the lock is very flimsy and does not always hold the jaw shut. I found it made clean, efficient cuts in quarter round and shoe moulding, but the jaws were a bit small for cutting trim in my opinion, and took quite a bit of force in pine trim, but handled mdf nicely. I would want to see longer or compound action on the handles as they took a bit of force. Dialing in the angle was a bit awkward as well, but not really an issue as I always lay out marks in pencil anyway

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't used much but definitely not as flimsy as other cutters out there. Plus saves alot of time with pre-angled guide if you doing alot of angles with the right thickness of material. Looks like they could taken apart to be cleaned as well with little work involved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the snips for a small job. Very convenient and well made snips. Makes the proper cuts with ease. Whether you have a couple of pieces or a complete job I highly recommend these. It makes it easy to make nice crisp clean cuts.

Didn't know this till existed until I used a friend's. Went right out and bought one for myself. What a time saver!?
