Irwin Long Cut Metal Cutting Aviation Snips Cutters
Option: 10504314N
Barcode: 5706915043143
Product Overview:
Designed for precision and durability, the Irwin Long Cut Metal Cutting Aviation Snips are perfect for making long, smooth cuts in lightweight materials. These snips are highly favoured in construction and building trades, particularly when working with plaster and angle beads. They minimise bending or distortion to the material being cut, delivering clean, straight lines across sheet metal and other materials.
Key Features:
Extended Blade Length: Precision-formed, cold-forged long blades for increased strength and extended cutting life. The design allows for longer cuts per stroke, reducing the need for multiple passes.
Ease of Use: The one-handed safety latch can be easily accessed from the handle position, allowing smooth push-up and release for quick opening and closing.
Comfortable Grip: Featuring over-moulded soft-grip handles, these snips ensure maximum comfort during prolonged use, reducing hand fatigue with their ergonomic design.
Compound Cutting Action: Less force is needed to make cuts, thanks to the compound leverage mechanism, which helps decrease the effort required by up to 40%.
High-Strength Spine: Built with high-strength alloy steel spines, the snips are robust enough to handle tougher materials while ensuring longer life and reliable performance.
Technical Specifications:
Length: 290mm (11 inches)
Cut Capacity: 1.19mm sheet metal
Optimised Torsion Spring: Provides smooth, consistent operation and increased durability.
Application Tips:
Best For: Use these snips to cut through materials like sheet metal, plaster, and angle beads, especially when precision and minimised material bending are required.
Safety Note: Always ensure the snips are securely latched when not in use to prevent accidental injury. Clean and oil the blades periodically to maintain smooth cutting action.
Usage Tip: For the best results, maintain a steady grip and use even pressure when cutting, allowing the compound action to reduce the force needed on tougher materials.
