Milwaukee® long cut offset snips are designed for cutting long, straight runs or left curves 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. The 45 deg offset cutting head keeps hands away from the cutting material for safer cuts and more control. 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.
