FAQs

What is the primary use for these snips?

These snips are primarily designed for making long, straight cuts in sheet metal and other pliable materials.

How long are the snips?

Can these snips be used for curved cuts?

While they can perform some gentle curves, their design is optimized for long, straight cuts. For intricate curves, specialized snips are recommended.

How should I maintain the lacquered finish?

The lacquered finish protects against corrosion. Clean the snips after use and store them in a dry place. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.

Are these snips suitable for left-handed users?

Troubleshooting

Snips feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the pivot point and blades. Apply a light machine oil to the pivot and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Uneven or ragged cuts

Ensure the blades are sharp and free of debris. Check that the material is not exceeding the snips' cutting capacity. Consider professional sharpening if blades are dull.

Rust spots appear on blades

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and light oil. Ensure the snips are thoroughly dried after use and stored in a dry place. Apply oil regularly to prevent future rust.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use

Ensure you have a firm grip and are utilizing the leverage provided by the 350mm length. For prolonged use, consider wearing protective gloves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for cutting sheet metal, thin plastics, and other pliable materials. Always ensure the material being cut is within the snips' recommended capacity to avoid damage.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth. For tougher residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with oil. Ensure the snips are completely dry before storing.
