Tin snips? Metal snips?

Not sure what these are called...I think of them as tin snips.  Saw them at the flea market over labor day.

    Did you buy one? Some may also be wire cutters. They make a very nice picture.

    I think one could go either way but by calling them tin snips we are revealing our age.

    I would call them tin snips too. That was quite a large collection of them. I wondered if they are still used as much as in former days.

    I would just call them "tools", but I'm no expert. ;-)
    Nice "old stuff".

    To modernize the term, we use them to snip the adult-proof plastic and packaging on so many items.
