The forged steel jaws of this right cutting snip are set at a 90 degree angle to allow easy gripping when cutting sheet metal in tight spaces or overhead. The operator can follow tight circular or square pattern right cuts with either a pushing or pulling motion. A serrated edge on the upper jaw and compound head to handle linkage provide powerful, non slip leverage for cutting up to 24 gauge (0.61 mm) cold rolled steel or 28 gauge (0.38 mm) stainless. Handles feature non slip, cushion inserts, torsion spring action and a squeeze open, side operated latch. Rust resistant polished forged steel jaws and black oxide finished handle stampings promote long service life.
