Product Overview
Tin snips, also known as tin snips or tin snips, are one of the most popular types of scissors. It has a long handle and a short blade. They usually have very wide jaws and are made of drop-forged carbon steel. Tin snips can cut 24 to 16 gauge cold rolled low carbon sheet metal, depending on blade size.
Their length ranges from 7 to 14 inches (180 to 360 mm). There are two main types Straight pattern and duckbill pattern. Straight cuts are best suited for straight cuts, but can also accommodate gentle curves. Duckbill scissors, also known as Trojan scissors, have a blade that tapers from the pivot point to the cutting edge. The cutting edge is also chamfered, making it easier to cut curves, circles and shapes.
They are lightweight shears that can only cut mild steel up to 25 gauge. Other common blade patterns include circular or curved patterns and hawk beak patterns. Round scissors have curved blades and are used to cut circles. Hawk shears are used to cut small radii inside and outside the circle.
The shape of the blade allows sharp turns without warping the sheet. A common use is to drill holes in pipes.
