Why this one
Long-jaw design for extended straight cuts
Built with elongated jaws that let you guide the blade through sheet metal cutter tasks with less effort and better tracking.
CrMo steel blades
The jaws are made from chrome-molybdenum steel, giving aviation snips-level toughness where it counts.
Rated cutting capacity
Designed to handle steel wire up to 0.9 mm and stainless steel up to 0.5 mm thick, so you know exactly what this tool can and cannot do before you pick it up.
Bi-material grips for all-day comfort
The black and yellow handles combine a rigid core with a softer overmold, giving you a secure grip even with oily or gloved hands.
Built for the trades
Weighing 443 g (15.6 oz) and measuring 275 mm (10.8 in), this snip is sized to handle real jobsite material without being unwieldy.
Read the full description
When your work calls for long, straight cuts through sheet metal, you need a snip that tracks true and stays comfortable all day. The Teng Tools 495 is built around an extended-jaw design that guides itself through material, reducing wandering and giving you cleaner lines with less effort.
The CrMo steel jaws provide the hardness and edge retention that professionals demand. With a rated capacity of 0.9 mm on steel wire and 0.5 mm on stainless steel, you get clear, published limits you can trust before committing to a cut. No guessing, no surprises — just tin snips for cutting metal sheet that perform exactly as specified.
The bi-material handles pair a stiff inner frame with a softer overmold that cushions your grip and absorbs squeeze-cycle vibration. Whether your hands are bare, gloved, or coated in cutting oil, the textured surface keeps the tool locked in place. At 443 g (15.6 oz) and 275 mm (10.8 in) overall, the 495 balances reach against weight so your wrist does not pay the price at the end of a long shift.
Ideal for HVAC ductwork, roofing flashing, aluminum trim, and general fabrication, this is the snip you reach for when the cut is longer than a standard aviation jaw can handle cleanly.
