Bessey D39ASSL-SB Offset Journeyman Snips Left Hand

Product Description

The BESSEY D39ASSL-SB is an offset journeyman snip designed for left-hand straight cutting in industrial sheet metal applications. It features forged steel blades with a 1-5/16 inch length of cut and an overall length of 9-1/4 inches. The offset blade geometry keeps the user's hand elevated above the work surface, reducing knuckle clearance issues during long cuts. The black and red plastic handles provide a firm grip during extended use. This tool is suited for licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians handling light-gauge steel fabrication and trim work.

The D39ASSL-SB is built for industrial-grade cutting tasks involving 18 AWG steel and stainless steel up to 0.025 inches thick. It is a left-hand, straight-cut snip, making it the correct choice for left-handed operators or for right-handed operators making straight cuts where the offset angle provides clearance advantage. Typical applications include HVAC ductwork fabrication, metal roofing trim, and sheet metal shop work where precise straight cuts in light-gauge ferrous and stainless material are required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal snips are a hand tool used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers working with light-gauge metal. No power source or lockout procedure is required, but operators should always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges. Inspect blades before use for nicks or misalignment that could cause blade binding or irregular cuts. Follow applicable OSHA hand tool safety guidelines for cutting operations.
