Keep your hands clear of the material being cut with the offset handles on these cutters. Also known as aviation snips, they have a double hinge that provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting, and a locking latch holds them together when the cutter is not in use.
Style B cutters are easy to use with one hand since the handles don’t open wide. This makes them comfortable to grip. You can lock and unlock them with either hand.
Serrated blades grip material to prevent slipping.

Blades are high-speed steel so they stay sharp longer than steel blades, and they can be sharpened. Also known as aviation snips, these cutters have a double hinge that provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting, and a locking latch holds them together when the cutter is not in use. Handles are offset to keep your hand away from the material being cut.

The handles are angled 90° from the blade so you can cut material from directly above in tight spaces. Also known as aviation snips, these cutters have a double hinge that provides high cutting force with low gripping pressure. A spring opens the jaws for quick cutting, and a locking latch holds them together when the cutter is not in use. Blades are serrated to prevent slipping.

Snip tighter curves in smaller spaces than standard high-force cutters. These cutters have a compact head and short handles, so you can slice through metal with one hand. Also known as aviation snips, they have a double hinge that delivers more cutting force per squeeze than regular sheet metal cutters. However, their short handles give you less leverage than full-sized high-force cutters. For safety, each cutter has a latch that locks the blades together when not in use.

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. Their hardened blades slice through metal as hard as steel. For safety, each cutter has a latch that locks the blades closed when not in use.
All cutters in these sets make straight cuts. Cutters designed for either right or left cuts make tighter curves than cutters designed to do both right and left cuts.
Style A have straight handles. 7 3/16" long cutters are about the size of traditional pliers, so you can grip them with one hand and fit them in tight spaces. They cut sharper curves than longer cutters. However, they give you less leverage, meaning you need more effort to squeeze the handles.
Style B have offset handles, so your hands won’t get in the way of material while making long cuts or cutting tight curves.
Spring-assisted cutters open automatically when you release the handles for quick cutting.
Cutters with serrated blades grip the edge of material to prevent slipping while cutting.
