Frequently Asked Questions
What are curved hand snips used for?
Curved hand snips are designed for cutting sheet metal along curved or circular lines. They are commonly used in marine fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and general metalworking where straight snips cannot follow the profile.
Can these snips cut stainless steel?
Yes, these snips can cut light-gauge stainless steel up to 0.7 mm thickness. For thicker stainless, use heavier aviation snips or a power shear.
What is the maximum cutting capacity?
They cut mild steel up to 1.2 mm (18 gauge), aluminum up to 1.5 mm, and stainless steel up to 0.7 mm. Avoid cutting materials beyond these limits to prevent blade damage.
How do I maintain curved hand snips?
After each use, wipe the blades clean and apply a light oil to the pivot joint. Store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain cutting performance.
