Snips are designed to cut various thicknesses of stainless and cold-rolled steel. Offset blade models help keep material away from hands while cutting. All models feature an auto-release mechanism for fast one-handed operation. Large handle rings and double dipped grips on the Tin Snips are designed for more comfortable use. Snip models include offset long-nose, duckbill, 3-piece aviation set, offset left-cut, offset right-cut, straight-cut, right-cut aviation, left-cut aviation, straight-cut aviation, and 10-in and 12-in tin snips.
