Irwin Aviation Snips

The Irwin Aviation Snips in Straight Cut configuration with 250mm length are specifically designed for making straight cuts and gentle curves in sheet metal, aluminium, vinyl siding, and other materials. This versatile straight-cutting variant is the most commonly used aviation snip configuration, making it an essential tool for general metal fabrication, construction, and maintenance work. Featuring precision-formed, cold-formed blades, these snips provide exceptional strength for extended cutting life whilst requiring reduced cutting force. The compound cutting action significantly decreases hand fatigue during prolonged cutting operations, whilst the high-strength alloy steel spines can sustain greater pressure when working with demanding materials. The serrated lower blade delivers enhanced grip for smoother, more consistent cuts without double marked edges. An optimised torsion spring ensures consistent, smooth operation with increased reliability and durability. The strategically positioned safety latch allows comfortable one-handed opening and closing, whilst solid over-moulded soft-grips provide superior comfort and performance throughout extended use.
