Description
Overview:
The Milwaukee Metal Aviation Snips Left Cut (model 48224510) are professional-grade hand shears for fast, accurate cutting of sheet metal. Built from forged alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, they deliver long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance in tough site conditions. Serrated cutting edges grip the work to reduce slip, while a compound leverage mechanism with a torsion spring automatically reopens the jaws for quicker, easier repetitive cuts. Ergonomic overmoulded grips with defined thumb and forefinger slots improve control, and a slimline body with a one-hand locking latch helps with safe storage in a pouch or tool bag. These left-cut snips are ideal for aluminium up to 1.0 mm, stainless steel up to 0.6 mm, and mild steel up to 1.0 mm, covering common fabrication, roofing, HVAC, and maintenance tasks.
Key Features:
- Forged alloy steel blades with a chrome-plated finish for strength and corrosion resistance.
- Left-cut pattern with colour-coded red handles for quick identification on site.
- Serrated cutting edges improve bite on the workpiece to prevent slipping.
- Compound leverage and torsion spring provide automatic jaw opening to speed up repetitive cuts and reduce fatigue.
- Ergonomic overmoulded grips with thumb and forefinger slots for secure handling, even with gloves.
- Slimline design and one-hand locking mechanism for safe transport and compact storage.
- Triple cutting direction identification on head, handle, and handle colour for clear orientation.
- Suitable for straight cuts, tight left-hand curves, and notch cuts in sheet material.
- Cutting capacities: Aluminium 1.0 mm, Stainless Steel 0.6 mm, Steel 1.0 mm.
Typical Applications:
