Hi, how well does the lock work. Is it like the older Milwaukee tin snips where they would accidentally pop open when squeezed in tool belt?

The plastic Latch doesn’t hold up very well . Broke the first week . Other than that they work great .

Will these handle 24guage stainless?

Per manufacturers website...."Easily bend flanges or completely flatten seams from 1/4 to 1-1/4 inch (6.4-31.8 mm) deep in 24 gauge (0.71 mm) galvanized or (0.61 mm) mild steel." This will not work with 24 gauge stainless.

Can anyone explain difference between fairmont tongs and hand seamer? Which is better for roofing installations? Thank you everyone who will have time

They are essentially the same thing. Fairmount tongs is just another name for a hand seamer. However, the forged hand seamers have wider size options. Fairmount tongs are powerful and versatile additions to any toolbox. They are used in HVACR, metal roofing, and many other sheet metal applications.
