Description
Overview:
The Milwaukee Aviation Snips Set (3 Piece, MPN 48224533) is a robust hand tool kit for clean, controlled metal cutting. Each snip is made from forged alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish for long service life and corrosion resistance. Extra-hardened cutting edges (up to 65 HRC) with serrations grip the workpiece to minimise slip and improve accuracy. The set includes left-cut, right-cut, and straight-cut snips, covering most sheet-metal directions and curves. A compound leverage mechanism with a torsion spring helps the jaws open automatically for faster, low-effort cutting. Ergonomic overmoulded grips provide control, while a slimline body and one-hand lock aid storage and handling. Specifications include edge length 31 mm, overall length 260 mm, weight 430 g, and maximum cutting capacities of aluminium 1.0 mm, stainless steel 0.6 mm, and steel 1.0 mm.
