The Stanley 2-14-566 Long Cut Aviation Snip is a professional straight-cut sheet metal snip designed for longer, controlled cuts in metal sheets and other suitable materials. Its compound cutting action and double-pivot mechanism provide increased cutting power while the extra-long serrated jaws help maintain a firm grip on the material during cutting.
The cutting blades are manufactured from forged chrome molybdenum alloy for strength and durability. The serrated cutting edges help prevent material slippage, while the colour-coded bi-material slip-resistant grip provides comfortable handling and improved control.
The Stanley Long Cut Aviation Snip can cut up to 18-gauge cold-rolled steel or 23-gauge stainless steel, subject to the material and cutting conditions. It is also suitable for cutting aluminium, sheet UPVC, wire mesh, leather, copper, plastic and mild steel.
