Built with corrosion-resistant chrome vanadium steel blades and serrated jaws, these snips are designed to grip material securely as you cut. A built-in safety locking latch keeps the blades closed for safer storage, and the cushioned Tyregrip-style handle helps reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
For best results, use them on thin/soft metals within their stated range (up to 20-gauge cold rolled steel and 22-gauge stainless steel). They’re not intended for hard materials like metal tubes, hard wire, thick rods, hardened steel, or mesh. As with any sheet-metal cutting, wearing gloves is recommended.
