Irwin 10" Left/Straight Cut Aviation Snips (2073111)

The Irwin 10" Left/Straight Cut Aviation Snips (2073111) are an indispensable tool for anyone who needs to make precise cuts in sheet metal, vinyl, and other materials. Engineered for both left and straight cuts, these snips combine powerful performance with user comfort. The compound cutting action multiplies the force applied, allowing you to slice through materials like 18-gauge cold-rolled steel with minimal effort, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. The serrated lower blade is a key feature, designed to grip the material firmly as you cut, which prevents slipping and ensures a smoother, more accurate result. Crafted from hot-drop forged chrome-molybdenum steel, the blades are built for strength and a sharper, longer-lasting cutting edge. The ergonomically designed ProTouch grips provide a comfortable, non-slip hold, giving you greater control over every cut. The convenient E-Z close latch allows you to open and close the tool with just one hand, streamlining your workflow. Whether you're a professional in HVAC or a DIY enthusiast tackling a home project, these snips offer the reliability and precision you need to get the job done right.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Compound Cutting Action: The compound leverage design significantly reduces the force needed to make a cut, making it easier to work for longer periods without tiring your hands.
• Hot-Drop Forged Steel Blades: The chrome-molybdenum steel blades are hot-drop forged, giving them superior strength and a sharper, more effective cutting edge that lasts longer.
• Serrated Lower Blade: The lower blade features serrations that grip the material during the cut, preventing slips and ensuring a clean, consistent cut line every time.
• Ergonomic ProTouch Grips: Designed for comfort and control, these textured grips prevent the handles from twisting or slipping, even with intensive use, enhancing safety and accuracy.
