Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN 60CrV Long cut Offset Snips

Was great until..

Worked great then the while head came off now wont spin fast enough to cut any grass.

Assembly of weed wacker

Suggest changing color of shaft plastic removable sleeve from gray. Hard to identify. Handle screw requires socket removal, not flat head screwdriver.

Longer blades

I love the longer cutting blades, the one I had was only a 1/2"long -- very hard to work with

Pull Cord wont retract

After using my trimmer twice, i guess the third time is the charm, the pull cord wont retract. I'm unable to find a way to fix it.

Broke after three uses

How to start this review , always been a big fan of craftman tools , but this trimmer is not up to your normal standards. To start the line load is not what it was made out to be , hard to load dont last no time. when on my fourth time going to use it the pull cord came out will not go back in. i cant find my receipt so the store i got it from want help me. Dont buy waste of hard earn money.

Joining the club...

Starts fine and am able to load.... but only get 30 seconds of trimming before the line disappears. I followed the video to load the line to a 'T', but still have issues. Does anyone know what to do so the line does not 'disappear' and you are not stuck reloading every 30 seconds?

Ust didnt like them

Had a hard time cutting a strieght line. The locking lever comes loose to easily. About every othe squeeze, the strap on the handle would catch and had to be cut off

Used 3 times and stopped working

Used 3 times and then the head only spins a few seconds upon starting and then doesn't turn at all.

Poor Stringing mechanism

Overall, I like the product. However, the stringing mechanism is horrendous. The concept is easy, but the result is junk. After I insert one string into each side and turn the head, it starts string both strands on the same level instead of one on top and one on bottom. Therefore, the strands are completely intertwined and prevents one side from feeding new string. I have used it 3Xs and I am about ready to return it. I spend more time restringing the mechanism than I do working.

Gutter installation

I bought this to trim gutters and cut a downspout. They got the job done well. Make sure you close the locking latch good or it will spring open easily. I would recommend getting the angled pair too if you are cutting a hole in the center of a gutter for a downspout, makes life a bit easier.

Works just fine

I needed to cut some metal hangers and these worked just fine. They were inexpensive and worked for my project.

I wanted to cut off a thin piece

I picked these out from a large display of various tin snips. They looked to be the thinnest and possibly enable me to cut off a thin strip from some flashing that was installed above a window I was replacing. They failed miserably. They did not cut straight, were bulky and pulled somewhat when they should have been cutting. I discarded them and used another tool which was more tedious, but actually got the job done. I will likely return them, but they cost less than $20 and might be useful...

SUPER EASY AND TONS OF ATTACHMENTS
