Irwin 22012 Straight Cut Snips 12.75 Inches

Product Description

The IRWIN 22012 is a straight cut snip designed for cutting sheet metal and other thin-gauge materials in HVAC, plumbing, and general sheet metal work. At 12.75 inches in overall length, this tool delivers the leverage needed for clean, straight cuts through ductwork, flashing, and similar materials. It is a hand tool suited for use by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers who regularly work with light-gauge metal on the job site or in the shop.

The 22012 is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where straight-line cuts in sheet metal are required. Typical uses include cutting HVAC duct sections, metal flashing, and trim stock. The straight-cut geometry makes it the right choice when curved or offset snips would be unnecessary, keeping cuts accurate and controlled on flat stock.

Key Features

• Straight cut design for accurate, linear cuts through sheet metal and thin-gauge materials
• 12.75-inch overall length provides extended leverage during cutting
• Sized for one-hand operation in standard sheet metal tasks
• Suitable for HVAC ductwork, flashing, and metal trim applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight cut snip for use in HVAC, sheet metal, and plumbing trade applications requiring straight-line cuts in light-gauge metal stock.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal snips are a hand tool requiring no power source or special permits. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when working with sheet metal edges, as freshly cut metal can be extremely sharp. Keep blades clean and free of debris to maintain cutting performance, and avoid using snips on material gauges that exceed the tool rating.
