Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cut a left curve with aviation snips?

Guide the snips so the blade follows the curve to the left, feeding the sheet metal smoothly through the jaws. The left cut blade geometry does the steering for you, so keep the jaws moving steadily and the cut stays clean.

What does left cut mean on aviation snips?

Left cut snips are designed to cut left hand curves and to trim the left side of a straight line. The blade geometry lets you steer the cut around a left curve without fighting the tool.

What are these snips best for?

They are best for cutting sheet metal, roofing material and ductwork where you need a clean, controlled cut. For straight lines and right hand curves you would use straight or right cut snips.

Why is there a holster included?

The holster keeps the snips within reach on your belt, protecting the blades and stopping them getting lost or knocked around on site. It is a practical addition for tradespeople who cut metal all day.

What is the safety latch for?

The thumb operated safety latch keeps the blades closed when the snips are not in use, so they are safe to carry in the holster and do not damage other tools in the kit.
