Product Information
Full details
This guide is for construction professionals and DIYers who need precise and efficient cutting of sheet metal. The Milwaukee LONG CUT OFFSET LEFT AVIATION SNIPS deliver secure, non-slip cuts with a comfortable grip for extended use. A minor caveat is the specific offset design, which is optimized for left-hand cuts and may require a different tool for right-hand applications. Key features include serrated non-slip edges, a one-handed locking mechanism, ergonomic grips, and a slimline design to prevent snagging.

FAQs
Are these snips suitable for cutting copper wire?
These snips are designed for sheet metal. While they may cut thin copper wire, dedicated wire cutters are recommended for optimal results and tool longevity.
What is the maximum material thickness these snips can cut?
The product information does not specify a maximum thickness. Consult the Milwaukee product specifications or contact customer support for precise material gauge limitations.
Can I use these snips for straight cuts?
While designed for offset left cuts, they can be used for straight cuts. However, a straight-cutting aviation snip might offer better efficiency for exclusively straight cuts.
How do I maintain the serrated edges?
Keep the serrated edges clean by wiping them after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could dull the serrations. Light lubrication helps prevent rust.
What is the weight of these snips?
The snips weigh approximately 1.1 pounds (0.5 kg).
Is there a right-hand offset version available?
This specific model is for left-hand offset cuts. Milwaukee typically offers a range of snips, and a right-hand offset version may be available separately.
Troubleshooting
Snips are difficult to open or close.
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Check the pivot point for debris and lubricate if necessary. Verify blades are clean.
Uneven or jagged cuts.
Confirm the material is correctly positioned within the jaws. Ensure the serrated edges are clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the blade edges.
Locking mechanism is stiff.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the locking mechanism. Operate the lock several times to work the lubricant in. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These snips are ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure the locking mechanism is disengaged before attempting to cut.
Compatibility: Designed for cutting various sheet metals, including aluminum, vinyl, and steel (within the tool's specified gauge limits).
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn residue, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the pivot joint and blades to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the snips in a dry environment. Engage the locking mechanism when not in use to protect the blades and for safe storage.
