Midwest Offset Left Cut Aviation Snips

The Midwest Offset Left Cut Aviation Snips are professional-grade snips designed for accuracy, safety, and durability. Perfect for landscapers, gardeners, builders, roofing contractors, and council maintenance teams, these snips deliver clean, precise cuts through sheet metal, aluminium, vinyl siding, and wire mesh.

The ergonomic offset handle improves hand clearance, making it easy to navigate tight curves and left-hand cuts without risk of injury. Forged from high-tensile steel in the USA, these snips are built to last, while the compound leverage mechanism multiplies hand force by up to 8 times, reducing fatigue on repetitive tasks. Cushioned, non-slip handles ensure comfort even during prolonged use, and the safety latch allows easy one-handed storage.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects, these aviation snips are essential for landscaping, garden cladding, fencing, and construction work where precision and efficiency matter.
