Description

These 250mm (10 inch) Aviation Snips are professional-grade cutting tools designed for making long, straight cuts and wide curves when working with sheet metal. The blades are manufactured from durable steel, hardened to a degree of HRC 55-65, ensuring exceptional cutting performance and extended tool life. They are capable of cutting capacity up to 2mm in thickness, suitable for various metals including mild steel, aluminium, and sheet cladding. The compound cutting action provides significant leverage, making thin metal cutting easier than with conventional snips. They feature comfortable, ergonomic handles (typically yellow for straight-cut) and a safety latch for secure storage. These snips are essential for roofers, HVAC installers, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople needing precision and ease when making linear cuts in sheet materials.
