The Midwest Regular Right Cut Aviation Snips are built for professionals who need reliable cutting performance and long-lasting durability when working with sheet metal and similar materials. Ideal for making tight right-hand curves and straight cuts, these snips are used across landscaping, construction, fencing, HVAC work, and general maintenance tasks.
Forged in the USA from high-tensile molybdenum steel, these snips offer exceptional strength, edge retention, and blade precision. The regular, straight-handled design makes them perfect for confined or narrow spaces where offset snips may be awkward to use. Whether you're cutting flashing, shaping ductwork, or trimming edging on a landscaping project, Midwest’s right cut snips ensure accuracy and control every time.
The compound leverage design amplifies the force of each squeeze, making it easier to cut through tough materials while reducing hand fatigue. Cushioned, non-slip grips offer added comfort and secure handling during long shifts or when working in damp conditions. A thumb latch locks the blades when not in use for added safety and portability.
These Midwest snips are a professional favourite—whether on-site with contractors or out in the field with council landscape teams, they deliver performance you can count on.
