I absolutely LOVE # 6204. I wore out the spring on my first pair and bought 2 more at a LQS at twice the price than at the site that amma gave. I think I'll get a couple more pair at that price.

I love the Fons and Porter snippers. They can be a little hard to find though.

I love my Gingher nippers! Guess I should get at least one more so I can have one by machines and o9ne by my easy chair.

Heritage nippers are my favorite... mine are 6yrs old and work as good as the day I bought them.

I have friends who have been using the same pair for over 25 years and they are still working like new.

Sounds like the ones I use. I believe they are gold seal. I started using nippers when I worked in the plant and fell in love. They are so handy. I don't know what I would do without them. When I am at the sewing machine I rarely pick up anything else.

Wow, Those sure look like nice nippers. I may have to invest in a pair. I like the blade protector they have on them.

I found these little nippers or men who tie their own fly's for fishing.They stay beside my sewing machine at all times.
I must confess,i know they where marked wrong.$2.98 i went back a few months later and they were 12.98.

I've got a variety of them, but Fiscars are my favorite.
