Bessey D39ASS-SB Offset Journeyman Snips 9-1/4 in

Product Description

The BESSEY D39ASS-SB is an offset journeyman snip built for right-hand straight cutting in industrial sheet metal work. The forged steel blades deliver consistent cutting performance on materials up to 18 AWG mild steel and up to 0.025 inches stainless steel capacity. At 9-1/4 inches overall length with a 1-5/16 inch cutting length, this snip is sized for both access in tight areas and sustained cutting runs. The black and red plastic handle provides grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use. Licensed HVAC sheet metal fabricators, ductwork installers, and metalworking tradespeople are the primary users of this tool.

The D39ASS-SB is suited for industrial cutting applications involving light-gauge steel and stainless steel sheet stock. The offset blade geometry positions the cutting edge away from the work surface, allowing the hand to clear the material and improving sight lines along the cut path. This makes it practical for straight cuts in ductwork panels, flashing, and similar flat or formed sheet metal components. It ships in single-unit packaging with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Forged steel blades for durability and consistent edge retention on light-gauge metals
• Right-hand straight cutting direction for clean, accurate passes through sheet stock
• Offset blade design keeps the hand elevated above the material surface during cuts
• Cuts up to 18 AWG mild steel and up to 0.025 inches stainless steel
• 1-5/16 inch cutting length handles most standard ductwork and flashing cuts
• Black and red plastic handle for comfortable grip and reduced fatigue

Compatibility

Designed for industrial sheet metal cutting applications involving mild steel up to 18 AWG and stainless steel up to 0.025 inches thick. Suitable for use wherever right-hand straight-cut aviation or journeyman snips are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal snips are a hand tool requiring no power source or code-governed installation procedure. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges. Inspect blade alignment and pivot tension before use; a loose pivot will produce ragged cuts and accelerated blade wear. Keep blades clean and lightly oiled to maintain cutting performance and corrosion resistance.
