Aviation Strip Right

WhatsApp Order

 An Aviation Snip Right is a compound-action hand tool engineered for making rightward curved or straight cuts in sheet metal and similar materials. Easily identifiable by its green handles, this snip is designed to deliver maximum cutting power with minimal effort, thanks to its compound leverage mechanism. Its angled cutting head improves visibility and control, especially in tight corners or confined spaces. Aviation snips are a staple in HVAC, metalworking, roofing, and construction industries, offering precision and efficiency in cutting various types of sheet materials.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

    • Use safety goggles or glasses to shield eyes from flying shards

    • Wear cut-resistant gloves to prevent injuries from sharp metal edges

    • Long-sleeved shirts and pants help protect from cuts and flying debris

  2. Inspect the Tool Before Each Use

    • Check the snip for blade sharpness and cracks

    • Ensure all moving parts function smoothly and the pivot bolt is secure

  3. Use Controlled Force

    • Avoid twisting the snip during cuts

    • Apply even pressure for a clean, controlled cut

  4. Secure the Material

    • Use clamps or a vice to hold sheet metal in place while cutting

  5. Use the Correct Tool for the Direction

    • Use right-cut aviation snips only for right-hand curves and straight lines

  6. Maintain a Safe Cutting Path

    • Keep fingers away from the blades

    • Be cautious of springback from the material

  7. Keep Work Area Clear

    • Maintain a clean workspace to avoid tripping or interference while cutting

  8. Proper Maintenance

    • Clean and lubricate the snips regularly

Store locked in a dry place to prevent rust and accidental injury
