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-cutting snips. Their hardened blades slice through metal as hard as steel.

All snips in these sets make straight cuts. Snips designed for either right or left cuts make tighter curves than cutters designed to do both right and left cuts.

Style A—Style A have straight handles. 7 _3/16" long snips 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 snips. However, they give you less leverage, meaning you need more effort to squeeze the handles.

Style B—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 Open—Spring-assisted snips open automatically when you release the handles for quick cutting.

Serrated Edge—Snips with serrated blades grip the edge of material to prevent slipping while cutting.

Latch Lock—For safety, snips have a latch that locks the blades closed when not in use.
