Overview
Tin cutting jobs that curve left or right are where this MIDWEST snip set belongs, with offset forged blades and comfort grips. The blades and handles are alloy steel with a polished finish.
Having both a left cut and a right cut tool in one set means curves can be followed in either direction without twisting the wrist, and the comfort grips ease repeated cuts. The limitation is that the listing sets no gauge capacity and the warranty excludes wear, dullness and misuse.
Who it's for
Roofing, ducting and general tin work with curved cuts suit offset aviation snips. Users who cut thick stainless or plate need heavier compound shears.
Pros and cons
- Left and right cut pair
- Alloy steel handles
- Lifetime limited warranty
- Cutting capacity not listed
- Warranty excludes dullness and wear
- No straight cut snip in the set
Performance notes
Offset blades hold the hand clear of the cut metal, and the cut direction decides which side the waste curls toward. Forged alloy steel resists chipping at the edge, while the grips spread pressure across the palm during repeated cuts.
