The Midwest Offset Right Cut Aviation Snips are the go-to choice for professionals seeking precise, clean cuts on tough materials like sheet metal, aluminium, and wire mesh. Specially designed for right-hand curves and long, continuous straight cuts, these high-performance snips are essential in any landscaping, construction, or maintenance toolkit.
Manufactured in the USA, these snips feature hot-drop forged steel blades engineered for maximum strength and longevity.
