Technical Features
- Steel blades with serrated cutting edge: The serrated edge grips sheet metal during the cut, reducing slippage and improving cut-line accuracy.
- 18-gauge cold rolled steel cutting capacity: Handles standard-weight sheet metal used in HVAC duct work, flashing, and general fabrication without blade deflection.
- 22-gauge stainless steel cutting capacity: Rated for harder stainless stock, making the tool suitable for applications where corrosion-resistant materials are specified.
- 1-1/2 in. cutting length: Provides a controlled bite per stroke, supporting precise straight cuts along scribed or marked lines.
- Straight-cut orientation: Blade geometry is optimized for forward, linear cutting paths, distinguishing this model from left- or right-offset aviation snips.
- 1.38 lb tool weight: Lightweight enough for sustained hand use while maintaining the mass needed for positive blade engagement on heavier gauges.
Applications
- Straight-line cuts on cold rolled steel sheet metal up to 18 gauge
- Cutting stainless steel sheet stock up to 22 gauge
- HVAC duct fabrication and installation
- Roofing flashing and trim work
- General metal fabrication requiring precise linear cuts
