Midwest Tool mwt-ss6716l Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snip

Product Description

The Midwest Tool MWT-SS6716L is a Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snip built for cutting tough metals that standard snips cannot handle. This tool is designed for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general contractors who work with stainless steel, Inconel, titanium, and other hardened alloys. The blades are heat treated to Rc60 hardness, giving them the edge retention needed to cut through materials that wear out ordinary snips quickly. The MWT-SS6716L is easiest to operate with the right hand and cuts to the left, making it ideal for curved and straight cuts in heavy-duty sheet metal applications. The left cut design allows the user to follow layout lines accurately while keeping the workpiece visible throughout the cut. These snips use Midwest Tool's GlideTech Forged Blade technology, which combines hot drop forging with molybdenum alloy steel and Austemper heat treatment. This process allows the blades to accept and hold a precision ground cutting edge longer than conventional blades. The blades cut completely from the pinch point all the way through the tips, so there are no missed sections or jagged edges. The pivot system uses a Grade 8 bolt that is threaded directly into the bottom blade, keeping the blades in precise alignment during use. If the blades ever shift out of adjustment, the bolt can be readjusted to restore peak cutting performance, extending the working life of the tool. The handle system uses Midwest Tool's Kushn-Power compound leverage design, which multiplies the force applied at the handle. This reduces hand fatigue during extended use and is especially useful when cutting through thick or hardened sheet metal. The grip is soft, sturdy, and shaped for comfort during repetitive cutting tasks. This product is made in the USA, meeting the standards expected in professional trade environments.
