I just think I've been doing this for too long and they weren't solving a problem or made things easier for me so I didn't give them a real try. I also didn't know where to put them when I wasn't cutting anything. I usually put my snips in either that useless coin pocket jeans have or in a belt loop and the longer handled ones don't balance right there and would fall out.

Definetely a personal preference thing here.

They are more for low voltage electricians. They are for cutting data cable and string among other uses.

What kind of vending machine has scissors in them?

Scissors aren't good for cutting house wire but they are better than Klein's or diagonals for cutting control wire, cat 6 data cable, and string. Whenever the electricians in my company get slow and they come help us pull the low voltage stuff they usually show up with scissors after a few days. I can understand not wanting to carry extra tools but snips definitely have a benefit in many situations.

I couldn't get used to the yellow handled snips. That long bit on the one side just felt awkward even though I use my palm to cut cables and it felt really weird to use it like a normal pair if scissors (like if I'm cutting paper). The worst part about them is that they are way out of balance and I can't do my cool scissor spin into pocket move that all us low voltage guys look really cool doing.

I dropped a brand new pair while on a scissor lift and they broke into about 4 pieces.

I get the stainless steel version of the Klein's now. They seem to stay sharper longer and they don't rust.
