4.5” Thread Nippers – Hot Forged Precision Thread Snips, Embroidery Snipper & Seam Cutter (Single Pack)

These are great little nippers for threads

Solidly built Italian-made steel thread nippers, fairly sharp out of the box, the weight and smooth finish feels good in the hand, it sticks well to magnets on your industrial sewing machines, and the finger loop helps keep the nipper in hand.

These are nice and sharp. They are a convenient size.

These seem to be well constructed and of good quality. Initially, I was disappointed, because I assumed that the grip hole was meant for the thumb. Like others, I thought it didn’t provide much leverage and thought I might end up returning the snips as a result. Fortunately, in looking around at similar products, I found one of a different brand that appeared to be made with essentially the same design. There, it was explained that the hole is for the ring finger. Once I tried mine in that manner, I became very satisfied with my purchase and thought they might be used equally well, either left handed or right handed. The only flaw I found is that there is a hole in the rubber cover (which looks brand new), as if the snips had been pushed in too forcefully. I may attempt to get them to replace the cover. In some reviews, people complained that their snips became stuck closed before very long. Two thoughts I had were that 1) perhaps their snips had been used to cut something that left a residue in the hinge area, which might need to be cleaned and oiled, or 2) possibly the snips could be adjusted, using one or both screws, and then perhaps oiled.

Mine also came in a zip lock bag, dirty, and scuffed up cosmetically. The blades were fine though and sharp. They're solid, a little heavy, works very well and of good quality. After using these for a couple of months, they're quickly becoming one of my favorites. The only thing I'd change would be a better cap or way to keep them closed. The little rubber it came with is wore out and won't stay on anymore. This is not a huge deal and I still love them.

Love how they sit in my hand and have kept their sharp edge for several years

After stumbling upon a video if Al Beatty tying humpy dry flies, I noticed he didn't use the normal scissors fly tiers generally used. This piqued my interest and lead me to find a number of articles and forum posts that said "Wiss" style scissors like these are preferable to normal scissors for production fly tiers. I've always been under the impression that if something is preferred by pros, it likely has benefits for the hobbiest; so, I bought these. To make a long story short, these work extremely well for tying flies. They have a pleasant heft in the hand and cut thread and other tying materials cleanly and easily. They are well worth the money you pay for them and will likely last for many years and hundreds of flies. The only improvement I would make to these scissors is to make the tips of the blades narrower to get around small feathers and fibers more easily. I chalk this up to them not being specifically designed for flies and fly tyers.

Bought these Ultima nippers to replace the Gold Seal ones I'd been using for 35 years. So far, these ones compare well with the Gold Seal brand. I noticed in other reviews that some found them to be awkward to use, and I'm wondering what they were trying to use them for. This nipper is for quick cutting of thread ONLY, not fabric. I learned to use them when I was a factory sewer using a Juki industrial sewing machine, and I have owned my own Juki for 35 years. You can sew much faster if you can quickly grab the nippers and squeeze without using the thumb hole. The nippers literally live on my machine, and I cannot sew without them. Great product!

Excelentes de súper calidad.

MUY BUENOS

Sharp and easy to use, does what’s needed and cheap.

Glad I purchased these. I have many snips and these are the best ! Will buy more likely
