Tin snips recommendation

I'm looking for snips to cut 0.9mm sheet steel straight without a serrated edge. Looked everywhere - can anyone point me in the right direction?

1. 0.9 mm is a bit on the thick side for cutting with tin snips.
2. Have a look at Axminster tools.2 -
I can get snips that would cut up to 1mm, but they are !!!!!! serated.0

Maybe a nibbler in an electric drill would do it?0

Got one of those. Great for irregular shapes, not so good for straight lines. The cut edge is also a little rough, but nothing an angle grinder or sharp file won't fix.coffeehound said: Maybe a nibbler in an electric drill would do it?
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Eclipse 14" Tin Snips. Sold in lots of places, but here is a link to them at one supplier Eclipse ESGP-14 General Purpose Snips 350mm (14") from Lawson HIS (lawson-his.co.uk)The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.2
