## Description

High-leverage aviation snips with serrated-edge blades made of premium chrome vanadium steel. Easily cuts through thin metal sheets, aluminum, and up to 18-gauge steel.

Review: Ok for thin sections only - Looks well made and sturdy. Easily cuts thin aluminium sheeting and uPVC pipework. However, there’s no way that these snips will cut 22 gauge stainless steel as claimed by the description. The kink shown in the photo resulted from an attempt to cut a stainless steel strip of half that thickness. It just bent and became sandwiched between the blades
Review: Comfortable - They cut .5 sheet steel perfectly. Comfortable in the hand and seem to be good quality.
