The 3-inch serrated high carbon steel blade delivers clean, controlled cuts through 20-gauge low carbon steel while maintaining edge retention through repeated use. Weighing under 1 pound at 0.97 pounds, these snips are light enough for extended overhead or tight-space work without causing hand fatigue. The ambidextrous design makes them suitable for both right- and left-handed technicians. HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and general contractors reach for these as a reliable single-tool solution for ductwork, flashing, and on-site material trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPX5-06 is well suited for residential and light commercial HVAC fabrication and installation, where cutting sheet metal duct sections, takeoffs, and registers is routine. Beyond HVAC, the serrated blade handles paper, cardboard, cloth, and leather, making these snips a practical shop and field multi-use tool. The compact profile — 11 inches overall length — fits in an apron or tool bag without bulk. No set required; the snips are sold and ready to use as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch serrated high carbon steel blade for durable, clean cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCuts up to 20-gauge low carbon steel — standard ductwork thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmbidextrous design works for both right- and left-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.97 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVersatile cut material list: HVAC sheet metal, paper, cardboard, cloth, and leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 11-inch overall length fits standard tool bags and apron pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general-purpose HVAC and sheet metal cutting applications where straight-cut aviation snips rated for 20-gauge low carbon steel are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAviation snips are a hand tool — no power source or lockout procedure applies before use, but always wear cut-resistant gloves when working with sheet metal edges, as freshly cut steel is sharp. Inspect the blade for nicks or looseness before use and confirm the pivot fastener is snug. When cutting ductwork already installed in a system, ensure airflow is not required in that zone and that adjacent insulation or wiring is clear of the cutting path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Head\/Blades\u003c\/strong\u003e: Serrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 Gauge Low Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanded\u003c\/strong\u003e: Both (Ambidextrous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\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: MPX5-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WISS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347243434290,"sku":"MPX5-06","price":24.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310546585.jpg?v=1782100097","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/wiss-mpx5-06-aviation-snips-3-inch-high-carbon-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
