Heavy-duty sheet metal cutting scissors in a variety of sizes for cutting thin sheet metal such as tin, mild steel, aluminium, brass, and thin-gauge stainless steel. These snips may be used with either hand to create straight cuts or broad, curved cuts to the left or right. Soft, two-layer, nonslip grips reduce hand stress, allowing you to exert greater effort and operate for longer periods of time without weariness. They can handle up to 22 gauge cold rolled steel or 26 gauge stainless steel with a 2-1/2 inch cut length. Cutting edges are finely honed and hardened with a high-frequency technique for smooth, consistent performance and extended service life.
