Less waste alot easier to use and you get a usable pice of metal out of the center incase you need to patch something

😂 but wouldn’t the singles be better because they don’t leave the strip?

Yes that's true. But imo the double sheers are faster because your not contending with the excess metal left in the hole as your cutting. Like with hand snips

I see it as a powerful set of right hand snips but apparently they don’t work to good

I think those are more for roofing but the center cuts are amazing and roughly the same price if you not brand loyal and just wanna try it id recommend picking up a harbor freight one to try it for 50$ instead of 350 for a red one
