Sheet metal snips: MIDWEST TOOL AND CUTLERY CO.
The Offset Power Cutter snip design makes long cuts faster and easier on corrugated/raised panel metal roofing and siding and features a 23⁄8-inch cut length and one-inch wide opening at the blade tip. The offset blade pattern keeps hands safely above the working surface and sharp edges and allows the snip to be easily advanced without interference from the material when making long cuts. The tool saves metal building contractor’s time by cutting easier, faster and safer. Made in the U.S., the P6516 features hot drop-forged blades manufactured of molybdenum alloy steel that provide unmatched strength and durability and the longest lasting cutting edge. Hot drop-forged blades readily cut sheet metal all the way to the tip of the blade. Its rated cutting capacity is 20-gauge cold rolled sheet metal.
