Irwin 23012 Tinner Snips 2-3/4 in Straight Cut

Product Description

The IRWIN 23012 is a straight-cut tinner's snip designed for general-purpose sheet metal work in HVAC, roofing, and ductwork applications. The snip features a 2-3/4 inch length of cut and an overall length of 12-3/4 inches, giving the technician adequate leverage for cutting 22 AWG steel in a single, controlled pass. The blue vinyl handles provide grip comfort during extended use. This tool is a standard hand-cutting instrument used by sheet metal workers, HVAC installers, and mechanical contractors who need a reliable straight-cut snip on the jobsite.

The IRWIN 23012 is suited for straight-line cuts through light-gauge sheet metal including ductwork panels, flashing, and metal roofing materials rated at 22 AWG steel capacity. Its 12-3/4 inch overall length makes it practical for both bench work and field cuts. General-purpose straight snips like this are standard in HVAC service kits and sheet metal shops where consistent, burr-minimal cuts on galvanized and mild steel sheet are required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal snips are used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers and require no power source or special tools beyond the snip itself. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges. Inspect the blade pivot and tension before use to ensure clean, consistent cuts. Keep blades clean and lightly oiled to maintain cutting performance and prevent corrosion.
