The Midwest Offset Right Cut Aviation Snips are precision cutting tools designed for landscapers, builders, garden maintenance teams, and contractors. Perfect for right-hand curves and long, straight cuts, these snips make trimming sheet metal, aluminium, vinyl, and wire mesh quick, clean, and effortless.
Crafted in the USA from hot-drop forged steel, the blades provide maximum strength and durability for long-lasting performance. The offset handle keeps hands safely above the cutting surface, improving clearance and visibility during intricate cuts. A compound leverage mechanism multiplies hand force by up to 8 times, reducing fatigue on repetitive jobs, while cushioned, non-slip handles ensure a secure grip—even when wearing gloves or working in wet conditions.
Reliable, durable, and professional-grade, these snips are an essential addition to any landscaping, construction, or maintenance toolkit.
