Frequently Asked Questions

Can these snips make curved cuts?

Yes. Although this is the straight-cutting model, the product information also specifies left and right cuts. Choose a tool suited to the curve and available clearance, and do not force the blades through a tight turn.

What thickness of metal can they cut?

The supplied product specifications do not state a gauge capacity. Check the manufacturer's cutting limits for the specific material and thickness before use; do not assume all metals have the same capacity.

Can I tether them for elevated utility or arborist work?

The snips have a tether-ready lanyard hole. Use a compatible, appropriately rated tool-tether system and follow its attachment instructions and your crew's dropped-object prevention procedures.

Are the comfort grips electrically insulated?

No electrical insulation rating is specified. Comfort grips are not a substitute for rated electrical protection. Do not use these snips on energized conductors, and use a dedicated cutter suited to the cable or wire being cut.
