RickCorey said:I find that "tin snips" with slightly serrated edges cut the plastic a little more easily than standard smooth-edge-scissors do. The serrations "grip" the plastic a little and help keep the cut straight.

Hi Rick,

I use straight-cut tin snips to cut gallon jugs (and tin cans), for the reasons you stated. But on the pop bottles I can go a little faster with sewing shears, so I use them for that "light weight" cutting.
