This high-performance set includes Left Cut, Right Cut, and Straight Cut Offset Aviation Snips, providing full cutting capability for curves, straights, and intricate shapes on the job.
Each snip is manufactured in the USA by Midwest Tool & Cutlery, a trusted name in precision cutting tools. The hot-drop forged steel blades are designed for superior strength, edge retention, and long-term durability in demanding work environments. Whether you're cutting ductwork, trimming metal flashing, installing garden edging, or fitting mesh panels, this 3-piece set delivers unmatched cutting power and efficiency.
The offset handle design across all three snips ensures improved hand clearance above the material, reducing the risk of contact and allowing smoother, safer cuts – especially in confined or awkward spaces.
