The Toughbuilt Long Cut Aviation Snips have forged blades with induction hardened cutting edges.
This deliveres up to 10 times more cuts than cast blades.
The blades can cut up to 22-gauge stainless and 18-gauge cold roled steel
Its ergonomic grip design allows two cutting positions: rearward grip for maximum leverage and forward grip for maximum control
Cracking bit of kit does the job well, used to cut roofing trim
Bought these because they were the only offset straight cut snips Toolstation had in stock. They are quite pricey compared with others at Toolstation so I thought they ought to be ok. They looked fairly crudely cast so I wasn't too impressed even before using. Their task was to cut 1.5mm aluminium sheet which I assumed they'd do easily, however they really struggled with this and as a result my cut was far from straight. Disappointed but this was my first time using aviation snips so I can't completely rule out beginner's lack of skill.
