Irwin 2073111 Aviation Snip 10 Inch Left Straight Cut

Product Description

The IRWIN 2073111 is a 10-inch aviation snip designed for cutting sheet metal and other thin-gauge materials with a compound leverage action. Multiple pivot pins work together to multiply cutting force, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The snip cuts left and straight, making it the right tool for curved and linear cuts through ductwork, flashing, and sheet metal panels. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers reach for this tool when fabricating or trimming metal components in the field or shop.

This aviation snip is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC fabrication, duct work, and sheet metal trimming tasks. The left-and-straight cutting capability makes it practical for notching corners, cutting duct collars, and trimming metal flashing. It is sold individually and works alongside right-cut and straight-cut snip sets for complete shop coverage.

Installation Notes

Aviation snips are hand tools used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers — no power source required. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges. Keep blade pivot pins clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth compound action. Inspect cutting edges before use and replace or service the tool if blades are chipped or misaligned.
