Does anyone here have any recomendations for a good pair of straight and curved Jewllers/Tin snips, I work mostly in 0.004" stainless but a good cutting range would be way better. I'm based in UK, which may limit options.
Pic related, my current brand of straight blades.

Mine are 85F from Friedr Dick. While I've been happy with them, I haven't tried that many comparable tools, so take it with a grain of salt.
Maybe you should tell what's wrong with your current snips.

They seem well, Chinesey if that makes sense, they seem to blunt with less than a days hard use, it honestly feels like i spend more time rehoning and tightening my snips than using them.

I cut stainless (up to 5mil) only rarely so I can't really comment about the durability of 85F. No problems with 0.5mm and thinner brass, though.

Got a link to an online supplier?

No, and the maker's FAQ tells you to ask them directly.
