Milwaukee® long cut snips are designed for cutting long, straight runs of up to 20 ga cold rolled steel. The 3 in blades achieve more cutting length per stroke for straighter, cleaner cuts. All Milwaukee® snips feature forged cutting heads for maximum durability and machined steel blades for precision cuts. They are designed with a 1-handed locking mechanism for ease of use while cutting cold rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, vinyl siding, screening, cardboard, leather and copper.
