These NWS Pelican Tin Snips are designed to cut sheet metal up to a maximum thickness of 1.8mm.
No, these snips are specifically designed for long, straight, continuous cuts. They are not ideal for making curved or intricate shapes.
The scissor head is made of stainless steel.
Keep the cutting edges clean, lubricate the screw joint periodically, and store them in a dry place. If performance degrades, professional sharpening of the hardened edges may be necessary.
Yes, the snips feature a re-adjustable screw joint that allows for maintenance and adjustment to ensure optimal cutting performance over time.
'Pelican style' often refers to a specific type of straight-cut tin snip known for its long blades and comfortable grip, designed for efficient straight cutting, similar in function to how a pelican's beak is used for scooping.
It is recommended to lubricate the screw joint and pivot point periodically, especially after heavy use or if the snips are stored for extended periods. A light machine oil is sufficient.
Check if the material thickness exceeds the 1.8mm limit. Ensure the cutting edges are clean and free of debris. Re-adjust the screw joint for optimal tension. If the issue persists, the cutting edges may need professional sharpening.
The screw joint may need to be tightened. Use an appropriate tool to adjust the screw until the desired tension is achieved. Do not overtighten, as this can make operation difficult.
Clean the affected area with a fine-grit abrasive or metal polish. Apply a light coat of machine oil for protection and store in a dry place. Regular lubrication can prevent rust.
Ensure you are holding the material firmly and guiding the snips in a steady motion. Verify the screw joint is properly tensioned. For very long cuts, taking short breaks can help maintain control and accuracy.
Setup: These tin snips are ready for immediate use upon arrival. The screw joint is factory-adjusted for optimal performance. If necessary, the screw can be re-adjusted using an appropriate tool to maintain optimal cutting tension.
Compatibility: Compatible with common sheet metals up to a thickness of 1.8mm. Not recommended for use on plastics, wires, or materials other than specified sheet metal.
