Will these give a nice straight, non sharp edge when cutting through 16 gauge wire mesh? Thanks

Hi Heather - No, tin snips or aviation snips are for sheet metal - what you need for cutting wire is something like these:http://www.amazon.co.uk/diy/dp/B000X1R41OJust search for 'side cutters' or 'diagonal side cutters'. Stanley, Irwin or Draper are all reputable brands and not too expensive. Hope this helps.

Are they any good for cutting hard plastic.I want to cut out a section of an aquarium lid ? Thanks

I have used them for cutting plastic so should be o k

Will these cut a curve - I'm cutting tin 'sail' shapes for an art project

These tin snips are not suited for tight curved cuts, perhaps above 500mm radius only.
