They look to be heavy duty so maybe they are old? The newer ones are less expensive, but also much lighter made. I've never heard of MGS so kind of think they were bought out and replaced. You may have an "antique" with those nippers. I, personally, have three pair of the lighter ones. I use them all the time and have never had to replace any. Mine are made by "Clover". I think I bought them at Joann's years ago.

I have this tool. My sister gave it to me, and she just called them snippers. It has no marking of any kind on it. I just love it though. It sits right in front of my sewing machine and I use it to snip any thread that I haven't already snipped with my machine. I hope you find the one you are looking for. Nothing beats having just the right tool!

Check out GarretWade.com. They have all kinds of neat stuff, but they carry this type of nipper at a very reasonable price.

Good luck!

Excellent price but it makes me think that if they sell for 2 dozen @ $20, they must wear out quickly.

The same for me. I found mine at a dollar store and I love them.

I have a pair that are similar but thinner and hubby gave them to me for Christmas one year and I love them. The actual cutting area is a lot smaller but does a great job. When I found out how much he paid for them I was shocked, they were nearly 20.00 from our local quilt shop. I like them because you don't have to put your fingers thru the holes to use them and makes it much quicker. That's why hubby bought them he said after watching me use the scissors. You pick these up and they are already in the palm of your hand ready to go.
