A pair of snips including first and second, opposed, elongated members (12,14), each member comprising a jaw (24,36) at a front end portion thereof, a handle (32,34) at a rear end portion thereof, and a midportion (28) where the members (12,14) cross over each other. A pivot (16) unites the midportions for scissor-like movement of the handles (32,34) and jaws (24,36) about the pivot (16). The snips also includes a gripper (52) biasely connected to the handle (32) of one of the members to retain a portion of a workpiece (W) severed by the snips. The first member (12) includes a metal plate (18) having a forwardly extending blade (24) which comprises one of the jaws and a rearwardly extending tang (26). According to the invention, at least the handle (32) of the first member (12) and gripper (52) are made of a moldable material molded onto the metal plate (18), such that the handle (32) of the first member (12) is molded onto the tang (26) of the metal plate (18) and the gripper (52) is integral with the first member (12) and molded onto an outer surface of the plate (18). The moldable material is most preferably a plastic, but other moldable substances could be employed. <IMAGE> |
