The DEWALT Ergo Aviation snips are a game - changer in the cutting tool world. With a reduced handle span, these snips significantly cut down on the muscle effort needed when slicing through tough materials. They're perfect for a wide range of cutting jobs, including aluminum, vinyl siding, screening, cardboard, leather, copper, and 18 to 22 - Gauge sheet metal. The serrated cutting edges act like teeth, firmly gripping the material to prevent slipping, while the slip - resistant, bi - material cushion grip offers a secure and comfy hold. These snips come with a low - profile design that's been crafted for enhanced ergonomics and balance, giving you great comfort and control. You can make more cuts with less effort, thanks to their industrial - grade design, which is ideal for high - volume framing and sheathing tasks. They've also received U.S. ergonomic performance certification. The improved external latch design and flush hardware ensure smooth and precise cuts. Each purchase includes one high - quality snip. Overall length is 11.9', blade length is 2.75', blade material is forged steel, handle length is 9', and the blade is lockable.
Using your DeWalt DWHT14675 Ergonomic Straight - Cut Aviation Tin Snips is a breeze. First, make sure the blade is unlocked. Hold the snips firmly by the slip - resistant, bi - material cushion grip. Position the serrated cutting edges on the material you want to cut, like aluminum or sheet metal. Then, simply squeeze the handles together to make a cut. For safety, always wear appropriate eye protection when using the snips. Don't try to cut materials that are too thick for the snips' capacity, as this can damage the tool and cause injury. When you're done using the snips, lock the blade to prevent accidental cuts. To keep your snips in top shape, clean them after each use. Wipe off any debris or dust with a dry cloth. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust. Store the snips in a dry place to avoid corrosion. With proper use and maintenance, your DeWalt snips will serve you well for a long time.
