I have a old school 12" long tin snip. I need to start cutting some aluminum sheets for the cobra and other projects. I guess I did not realize they come in straight, right & left cutting. Tells you how much I've cut metal !
My intentions are just for home projects, not a professional full time job.
Please explain how the straight, right & left cutting snips work.
For price, big dollar descent always mean great quality, so what brand is middle of the road ? For instance, I believe that "Snap On" tools are overly priced. Nice tools, but too high $$$
What type, size and brands should I check out ?
For most projects, do I need all three ?
(ebay sells a lot of 3 in a package)
Are "aviation" snips any better and what are they ?

I will appreciate your schooling & advise.
