Aviation Snips

Aviation snips are a type of hand tool used to cut sheet metal. They are typically made of steel and have a long, thin blade with a sharp point. The blade is serrated on one side to help grip the metal and prevent it from slipping. Aviation snips come in a variety of sizes, with the most common being 6 inches and 8 inches.

Aviation snips are used to cut sheet metal in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction. They are also used by hobbyists and DIYers.

Types of Aviation Snips

There are two main types of aviation snips: straight and curved. Straight aviation snips have a straight blade, while curved aviation snips have a curved blade. Curved aviation snips are better for cutting curves and circles, while straight aviation snips are better for cutting straight lines.

How to Use Aviation Snips

To use aviation snips, hold the tool in one hand with the blade facing away from you. Place the metal to be cut on the table in front of you. With the other hand, grasp the handles of the snips and squeeze them together. The blade will cut through the metal.

Safety Tips

When using aviation snips, be sure to wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying metal shavings. Also, be careful not to cut yourself. Aviation snips are sharp and can easily cause injury if not used properly.
