Milwaukee 48-22-4568 Left Offset Aviation Snips

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-22-4568 is a left offset long cut aviation snips designed for cutting sheet metal in tight, left-curving patterns. The offset blade geometry keeps the user's hand clear of the material edge, reducing fatigue during extended cutting operations. These snips are a standard hand tool for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and mechanical contractors who regularly work with ductwork, flashing, and light-gauge metal fabrication. The tool ships as an individual unit and weighs 6.59 pounds per package of 6 units.

Left-cut aviation snips are a go-to tool in residential and commercial HVAC duct fabrication, roofing, and general sheet metal work. The long-cut blade profile allows for extended straight or curved cuts on flat stock and pre-formed duct sections. They are equally at home in a fabrication shop or on a job site where precise sheet metal trimming is required. Installers working with spiral duct, rectangular duct, or metal flashing will find the offset handle especially useful in confined layout areas.
