AVIATION TIP SIP SNIP CUTTER 10"

Aviation snips, also known as compound snips, are designed for cutting sheet metal and are available in various configurations for straight, left, and right cuts. The "10" in "aviation snip 10" likely refers to the length in inches, making it a 10-inch aviation snip. These snips are characterized by their compound action, which provides increased leverage for cutting thicker materials. 

Key Features and Specifications:

• Straight Cut:

Indicated by a straight blade, these snips are ideal for making straight cuts in sheet metal. 

• Left and Right Cut:

These snips are designed for making curves and are color-coded (typically green for left, red for right). 

• Cutting Capacity:

Aviation snips can typically cut through aluminum up to 18 gauge and stainless steel up to 26 gauge. 

• Compound Action:

The multiple pivot points in the snips' design provide increased leverage, allowing for easier cutting of thicker materials. 

• Material:

Made from forged tool steel for durability and strength. 

• Cutting Edge:

Serrated edges help to grip the material and prevent slippage during cutting.
