Built with molybdenum steel blades and a compound leverage mechanism, this snip handles 16 AWG steel capacity while reducing operator hand fatigue on extended cuts. The serrated jaw edge grips material during the cut to minimize slipping, and the spring-action return opens the blades automatically for fast, continuous feeding. Overall length is 9.25 inches with a cutting length of 0.875 inches. The red handle indicates straight-cut orientation, following standard color-code convention for aviation snips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M5R is suited for general-purpose straight cuts in sheet metal applications including duct fabrication, flashing installation, and trim work on heavy-gauge stock. The compound leverage design makes it practical for notching or trimming extra-heavy material where standard tin snips would require excessive force. HVAC sheet metal mechanics, roofers, and general contractors are the primary users. The snip is not tether capable and is packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolybdenum steel blades rated for 16 AWG steel capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompound leverage mechanism reduces hand fatigue during heavy-stock cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-slip serrated jaw holds material securely through the cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-action return enables fast, effortless feed without resetting grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cutting direction for general-purpose sheet metal work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed handle for immediate visual identification as a straight-cut snip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general-purpose straight cutting of sheet metal up to 16 AWG steel.

Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling freshly cut sheet metal edges, as burrs and sharp edges are common. Inspect blade alignment before use and do not attempt to cut wire, hardened steel, or material exceeding the rated AWG capacity, as doing so may damage the blades or spring mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Molybdenum Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Serrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: WISS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WISS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699095175474,"sku":"M5R","price":47.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b952ee30cbea1b6818c8c28343939fce.jpg?v=1788372220","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/wiss-m5r-aviation-snips-9-25-in-straight-cut-16-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
