STANLEY FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563

Q: 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.

Q: 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

Q: 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.
