Hey Gio! I'm using a pair of Wiss angled hand shears. I use them for cutting steel pretty often, and they work amazing on the thin brass. It cuts like butter. I really reccomend the angle, because when you do a lot of cutting like I do, it's great. It keeps the metal from getting in the way.

Heres a pic I found on the net of what I use. I have the red handled pair.
