Forged steel blades with laser-hardened, serrated edges deliver clean cuts through 16-gauge material while resisting wear over extended service life. The handles are engineered for low-effort operation, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive cuts. Chrome plating on the blades provides rust protection, and the BOLT LOCK mechanism keeps blades from loosening under load. Licensed tradespeople and sheet metal workers are the primary users of this tool on commercial and residential job sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAviation snips in this class are used by HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and general contractors for cutting sheet stock, ductwork, flashing, and metal roofing components. The 48-22-4569 is suited for cuts through 16-gauge material, covering the majority of light-gauge sheet metal encountered in field service. Color-coded yellow and red handles allow quick visual identification in a crowded tool pouch or on a busy work surface. The blade geometry is designed to curl cut material away from the cutting line, improving cut accuracy and operator visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel blades with laser-hardened edges for extended durability in 16-gauge cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharp, serrated blade profile produces smooth, clean cuts and reduces burring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBOLT LOCK design prevents blade loosening during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated blades resist rust and corrosion in field conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-effort handle geometry reduces hand fatigue on repetitive cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-handed metal swing lock secures blades for safe storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTether-ready lanyard hole supports tool tethering for elevated work applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aviation snip for cutting 16-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, metal flashing, and similar light-gauge materials in trade and construction settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAviation snips are a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling cut sheet metal edges. Inspect blades before each use and confirm the BOLT LOCK is engaged when storing the tool. Keep blades lightly oiled at the pivot to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion buildup at the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Cutting Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9-1\/3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.88 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow\/Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48-22-4569\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620459413810,"sku":"48-22-4569","price":30.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c51bb83ef1d8d1888c33959475efcba9.jpg?v=1787343157","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-48-22-4569-bulldog-aviation-snips-16-gauge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
