Built with chrome vanadium steel thatâs processed with a high-frequency heat treatment, these snips are designed for efficient cutting on a range of materials. Theyâre rated to cut up to 18 gauge (1.2 mm) cold-rolled steel and 22 gauge (0.8 mm) stainless steel, and can also handle materials like metal wire, thin PVC pipes, metal sheets, and square steel pipes.
For comfort and safety, the two-colored handle includes a rubberized grip to help you maintain a secure hold for more precise cuts. When youâre done, a latch locks the tool shut to help protect the blade, and the one-handed auto release makes it quick to get back to work. Itâs also backed by an Amazon Basics limited one-year warranty.
