Williams Comfort Products 28201 Aviation Snips Left Cut

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 28201 is a left-cut aviation snip designed for cutting sheet metal and other thin-gauge materials common in HVAC and plumbing rough-in work. Aviation snips of this type use a compound-action jaw mechanism that reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting tasks. The left-cut orientation allows the blade to curve the cut to the left, making it the correct tool for clockwise curves and straight cuts when working from the left side of a sheet. At just under 1 pound, the 28201 is a lightweight, single-unit hand tool suited for field and shop use.

Left-cut aviation snips are standard in HVAC sheet metal work, ductwork fabrication, and metal flashing installation. The left-cut designation is essential when ordering: left, right, and straight-cut snips each serve a distinct cutting direction. This snip is sold individually and is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where precise metal cuts are required.

Installation Notes

Aviation snips are hand tools used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers and require no power source or special installation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling freshly cut sheet metal edges. Inspect blades before use and ensure the pivot fastener is secure. Store with the safety latch engaged to prevent accidental blade contact.
