I've had some Wiss snips, and others, and quality/design counts. The air

That's where the offset snips come in. They can cut through large flat
sheets with out much curling. Also, the yellow handled snips (straight
cutting) are a tremendous compromise. If you're going to do any amount
of cutting, you need both left and right cutting snips.
