Westward Tinners Snip Set: Straight, 7 in_10 in Overall L, 1 3/4 in_2 in Cutting L, Steel, Plastic

Sets include tinner snips of different lengths to cut lighter-to-heavier gauge sheet metal. The snips' long handles provide extra leverage to concentrate cutting force in the short blades. Also called tin snips or tinners, they operate like scissors with the handles swinging out on a hinge to open the blades and swinging in to close the blades. They make straight or slightly curved cuts through sheet metal and other materials. Rings on the handles provide a grip to operate the snips and help protect fingers from the blades.
