One-Handed Strapping Cutters


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E	Style F

Keep one hand free while cutting and trimming strapping.

Style A—Style A have a spring that opens the jaws when you release the handles to reduce hand fatigue.

Style D—Styles D hold both ends of properly tightened strapping until tension is released, which reduces the chance of injury from sharp flying strap ends.

Style E—Styles E hold both ends of properly tightened strapping until tension is released, which reduces the chance of injury from sharp flying strap ends. They also have rubber compression pads for greater control of tight straps.

Two-Handed Strapping Cutters


Style A	Style B	Style C

Two-handed strap cutters give you more leverage than one-handed strap cutters. To maximize leverage, choose a longer cutter.

Style A—Style A have an offset lower handle, which makes it easy to cut heavy steel strapping and prevents bruised knuckles.

Style B—Styles B hold both ends of properly-tightened strapping until tension is released. This reduces your chances of injury from sharp flying strap ends.

Style C—Styles C hold both ends of properly-tightened strapping until tension is released. This reduces your chances of injury from sharp flying strap ends. They have rubber compression pads to help you control tight straps and are made in the U.S. for superior quality.

Compact High-Force Sheet Metal-Cutting Snips


Cutting Pattern - Straight, Right Curves	Cutting Pattern - Straight, Left Curves

Cutting Pattern - Straight, Right Curves, Left Curves

Snip tighter curves in smaller spaces than standard high-force snips. These snips 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-cutting snips. However, their short handles give you less leverage than full-sized high-force snips.

Latch Lock—For safety, snips have 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-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.
