What are you cutting? If you are cutting rings for mail, get a set of 1/4"/8mm bolt cutters.

My Wiss snips always broke cutting 14GA steel. The last 1/2" or so would break off of one jaw. I found it easier to just grind the other jaw to match, keeping the blades cool as I went so as not to ruin their temper.
