MC14N 14" Malco Aluminum Snips

Overview

The Malco Andy Snip (MC14N) is designed for combination-cut aluminum snipping applications, including straight shearing and left or right circular cuts in sheet metal and related materials.

Technical Features

• Steel blades with precision-ground, beveled edges: Surface-finished cutting surfaces produce smooth, consistent cuts across all types of aluminum and sheet material applications.
• Full 3-1/4 in. (82.6 mm) cutting length: Maximizes the usable blade stroke per cut, improving efficiency on long straight shearing passes.
• Combination-cut geometry — straight and circular (L/R to 6 in. diameter): A single tool handles multiple cut profiles, reducing the need to switch snips mid-task.
• Sleek, slim-nose head design: Improves maneuverability in confined spaces and allows entry into tight material profiles such as J-Channel.
• Extended blade tips: Reach fully into corners where standard snip geometry cannot, expanding usable cutting zones.
• Wider, thicker handle loops — 1/2 in. longer than standard: Provides up to 10% more input leverage and enhanced operator comfort during extended use.
• Field-replaceable blades via pivot bolt removal: A single wrench or nut driver removes the pivot bolt, allowing pressure-fit replacement blades to be installed on-site without special tooling.

Applications

• Straight shearing of aluminum sheet stock
• Left and right circular cuts down to 6 in. (15 cm) diameter
• Cutting in tight profiles and channels, including J-Channel
• Corner cutting using extended blade tip reach
• HVAC, siding, roofing, and general sheet metal fabrication work requiring multi-directional cuts
