Irwin Aviation Snips Utility Cut are designed for applications when a long cut in lightweight material is desired. The precision-formed blades that are cold formed meaning that the blades are stronger for an extended cutting life, requires less cutting force, and provides a longer cut per stroke. The optimised torsion spring gives a consistent and smooth operation with increased reliability and durability. The safety latch is comfortable to reach from handle position with an easy push-up and release and one-handed opening and closing. The high-strength alloy steel spines can sustain greater pressure for cutting tougher materials and give increased life. Whilst the compound cutting action, reduces force needed to cut and decreases hand fatigue. The solid over-moulded soft-grips give superior comfort and performance. Size 290mm (11in). Cut Capacity Sheet Metal 1.19mm.
