Blades are high-speed steel so they stay sharp longer than steel blades, and they can be sharpened.

A double hinge provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. These cutters are also known as aviation snips.

Make straight and curved cuts in sheet metal—these sets come with three tools for different cutting patterns. Also called aviation snips, they have a double hinge, so they cut with more force and require less effort to squeeze the handles than standard sheet metal cutters.

Prevent waste from flying up as you work. A double blade makes two cuts to create a 7/64"-wide step that peels back, leaving little distortion and smooth edges.

Blades are tapered to give you more control when cutting straight lines, tight curves, and circles, and they're serrated to prevent slipping. These cutters are also known as duckbill snips.

Also known as tinners' snips, these cutters make straight cuts and curves.

Handles are angled to keep your hand away from the material as you cut straight lines and curves.

The unique shape of these cutters gives you 40% more power per cut than standard sheet metal cutters. When blades get dull, loosen a few screws to replace them.

Also known as slotting shears, these cutters have a double blade that creates two cuts and a 7/32" wide waste strip that peels back, leaving two smooth edges with little distortion.

Also known as scissor-blade shears, the bottom blade remains stationary while the upper blade moves up and down to cut metal up to 1/64" thick with minimal material loss and edge distortion.

An enclosed ratchet feed opens quickly to accept tubing and instantly slides to cutting position.

Enclosed steel bearings guide the cutting blade to create smooth cuts—even after repeated use.

After cutting, crimp tubing in preparation for making connections.

No need to turn an adjustment screw—these cutters have a spring-loaded ratchet feed that adjusts to the size of your tubing in seconds. Their bearings are enclosed, so they rotate smoothly even after many uses.

Ratchet action permits cutting in cramped areas.

Ratchet action permits cutting in cramped areas, and moves the cutter 360° around a pipe.
