The Stanley Long Cut Aviation Snips are professional-grade straight cutting snips designed for precision metalwork and fabrication tasks. Built from forged alloy steel with chrome molybdenum construction, these 250mm snips deliver exceptional cutting power through their high leverage compound action mechanism. The serrated cutting edge prevents material slippage during operation, ensuring clean, accurate cuts through sheet metal up to 18 gauge steel thickness. A one-handed automatic latch releases with a simple squeeze of the handles, allowing quick deployment and improved productivity on site. The bi-material handles provide enhanced comfort and grip during extended use, reducing hand fatigue for professional tradespeople. These versatile aviation snips are suitable for cutting a wide range of materials including aluminium, sheet uPVC, wire mesh, leather, copper and plastic, making them ideal for HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, roofers and general contractors. The straight cut configuration makes them particularly effective for cutting straight lines and working with flat sheet materials.
