The DeWalt Ergo Aviation Snip was designed with a reduced handle span, providing lower level of muscle effort required while cutting tough materials. These snips are forged from durable chrome vanadium steel and feature serrated cutting edges to prevent slippage. The external latch design ensures ease of use, and the slip-resistant, bi-material cushion grip provides a comfortable and firm hold. They offer 15% less muscle effort than existing snips when cutting tough materials. Traditionally used for cutting aluminium, vinyl siding, screening, cardboard, leather, copper, and 18 to 22-Gauge sheet metal.
