Irwin 23010 Tinner Snips 10 in Straight Cut

Product Description

The IRWIN 23010 is a straight-cut tinner snip designed for general-purpose sheet metal work in HVAC, roofing, and mechanical trades. The snip features a 10-inch overall length and a 2-inch cutting length, delivering enough leverage for clean, controlled cuts through light-gauge sheet metal up to 24 AWG steel capacity. The blue vinyl handle provides grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use. This is a single-piece hand tool suited for ductwork fabrication, flashing cuts, and sheet metal trimming tasks performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers working with thin metal components.

The IRWIN 23010 is intended for general-purpose straight cuts in residential and light commercial sheet metal applications. Typical uses include cutting galvanized duct sheet, HVAC flashing, and other 24 AWG or lighter steel stock. The straight cutting direction makes it well suited for long linear cuts and trimming work where curved or offset blades are not required. This snip fits naturally into a standard hand-tool kit carried by sheet metal installers and HVAC service technicians on the job site.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers for hand-cutting sheet metal during duct fabrication and flashing installation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling freshly cut sheet metal edges. Inspect the blade for nicks or misalignment before use and do not attempt to cut material heavier than the rated AWG capacity, as doing so can damage the blades and reduce cutting accuracy.
