Aviation Snips

Aviation snips are specialized cutting tools designed for precision in metalworking, ideal for cutting through sheet metal like aluminum and mild steel. Available in three types—left-cut, right-cut, and straight-cut—these snips allow users to navigate intricate shapes and curves effortlessly. Crafted from durable high-carbon steel, their sharp blades ensure clean, accurate cuts while maintaining longevity.

Aviation snips, also known as compound snips or tin snips, are specialized cutting tools designed for precision and efficiency in metalworking. Featuring robust, sharp blades, they are ideal for cutting through various types of sheet metal, including aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. Aviation snips come in four main styles: left-cut, right-cut, and straight-cut, and special hardness allowing users to tackle intricate curves and straight lines with ease.

Aviation snips designed for cutting hardened materials ( MWT-SS6510L MWT-SS6510R , MWT-SS6716L , MWTSS6716R ) are specifically engineered to handle tougher metals, such as hardened steel and thicker gauges of aluminum. These snips feature reinforced blades made from high-carbon steel, providing enhanced durability and cutting power.

The cutting edges are often treated to Rc60 for cutting Stainless steel, Inconel, Titanium, and other hardened metals with ease. Ergonomically designed handles with a secure grip minimize hand fatigue, even during prolonged use.

When using aviation snips on hardened materials, you’ll find that the left-cut, right-cut, and straight-cut options allow for precise maneuvering, making it easier to navigate complex shapes and curves. These specialized snips are an invaluable tool for professionals in aviation, automotive, and metal fabrication industries, ensuring clean, accurate cuts in demanding applications. MADE IN THE USA !
