## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Snips for FC Siding
*by B***S on May 30, 2006*

These are excelent snips to cut curves and small cuts on 5/16" Fiber Cement siding. I use them mainly to cut around circle openings like circle top windows etc. You can cut very snall diameter holes. Easy to operate and comfortable. Good clean surface cuts. Highly recommended. I use the Steelhead power shears to make my main straight cuts but with the SS404 I have it doesn't cut tight curves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ fiber cement tool
*by K***N on August 28, 2013*

this is a great supplemental tool to the blade for your saw that cuts the cement board like butter, unlike a regular blade.

### ⭐ Don't bother
*by P***R on June 25, 2006*

I definitely didn't have the same good results as BobS did with the Malco snips. These snips work on the same principle as fiber cement electric shears. Two bottom forks support the work during cutting while a center cutting knife shears the fiber cement. The electric shears are efficient and yield good results because the bottom forks are wide enough to support the board and the center cutting knife has a close tolerance fit between the forks. This is not the case in Malco shears and the quality of cut suffers. The top surface of the board has a fairly clean cut while the backside of the board is badly crumpled. The problem with the Malco shears is that the bottom forks are made from narrow pieces are steel that have a nasty tenedencey to dig into the backside of the board. The Malco shears center knife has a huge gap between the center cutting knife and bottom support forks. Consequently this portion of the board is not adequately supported during cutting. With these two features, you end up with a crumbled cut on the backside of the board. If this doesn't bother you, than these snips will work for you. I personally will pass on the Malco snips.
