FAQs

What is the maximum thickness of steel the snips can cut?

Can I use these snips on stainless steel?

While the snips can cut steel, the manufacturer does not specify suitability for stainless steel; please test it on a sample of the material first.

How do I maintain the sharpness of the blades?

Clean and lightly oil the blades after each use, and sharpen them periodically using a sharpening tool designed for snips.

Are the handles comfortable for extended use?

Yes, the bi-material handles are designed for a comfortable and secure grip.

What materials are these snips suitable for?

They are suitable for cutting aluminum, sheet uPVC, wire mesh, leather, copper, plastic, and steel (up to 18 gauge).

How do I use the one-handed latch?

Squeeze the handles together, and the latch will automatically release.

Where should I store my Aviation Snips?

Store your Aviation Snips in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Snips are difficult to open or close.

Lubricate the pivot joint with machine oil.

Cuts are not clean or are slipping.

Ensure the cutting edge is sharp and not damaged. Apply more force.

Snips are not cutting through the material.

Check that the material is within the snip's capacity (18 gauge steel max). Replace the snips if they are dull.
