Williams Comfort Products 28231 Offset Snips

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 28231 is a pair of offset snips designed for left and straight cutting of sheet metal and similar materials. The offset handle design keeps the user's hand elevated above the work surface, reducing knuckle contact with the material during cuts. These snips are suited for HVAC ductwork fabrication, sheet metal shop work, and field cutting tasks where precise control and hand clearance are needed. Licensed sheet metal mechanics and HVAC technicians reach for offset snips when working in tight layouts or cutting along flat, continuous lines.

The 28231 is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial HVAC duct fabrication, roofing flashing work, and general sheet metal cutting applications. The left-cut orientation makes it the correct choice when cutting counterclockwise curves or working left-handed along a straight layout line. Sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Offset handle design elevates the hand above the work surface for improved clearance
• Left and straight cutting capability for flat runs and counterclockwise curves
• Compact single-unit tool sized for field and shop use
• Lightweight construction at approximately 1 pound for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for general sheet metal cutting tasks common in HVAC ductwork fabrication, flashing installation, and light-gauge metal work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal snips are a hand tool requiring no power source. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges before and after cutting. Ensure the material is secured or supported to prevent movement during the cut. Inspect the blades before use and do not force cuts through material gauges beyond the tool's rated capacity.
