Why this one
Cut capacity for sheet metal
Built to handle steel wire up to 1.5 mm thick and stainless steel up to 0.9 mm thick, giving you the reach and leverage to slice through ductwork, flashing, gutters and other sheet metal components on the job site.
Crmo steel construction and metal shears performance
The jaws are manufactured from CrMo steel, delivering the hardness and edge retention needed for repetitive cuts through tough materials without premature dulling.
Bi-material grip design
Dual-density handles combine a firm structural core with a softer overmold that absorbs hand fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.
Offset jaw geometry for HVAC tools applications
The offset head angles the cutting edge away from flat stock, letting you work on a bench or installed panel without lifting or bending the material.
Practical size and weight for roofing tools use
At 250 mm (9.8 in) overall length and 533 g, this tool balances reach against one-hand control.
Read the full description
Teng Tools builds this offset right and straight cutting snip around a CrMo steel jaw assembly paired with bi-material handles, giving tradesmen a single-purpose tool that excels at right-hand curves and straight lines through sheet steel and stainless steel.
The jaws cut steel wire up to 1.5 mm thick and stainless steel up to 0.9 mm thick, covering the gauges most common in HVAC ductwork, metal roofing, gutter installation, siding trim and general fabrication. The offset design raises your grip above the cutting plane so the workpiece passes underneath without binding against your knuckles, a critical advantage when trimming material that is already fastened in place.
CrMo steel gives the blade edges the hardness they need to stay sharp through repeated cuts on tough stock. The bi-material handles pair a rigid core for structural strength with a softer overmold for cushioned grip and vibration dampening. Together they reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions on the roof deck or in the shop.
Overall length measures 250 mm (9.8 in) and weight comes in at 533 g, a balance that keeps the tool maneuverable in one hand while still providing enough lever arm for clean cuts through heavier gauge material. A built-in latch locks the jaws shut for safe pocket or pouch carry.
Whether you are fabricating custom ductwork, fitting flashing around dormers, or trimming stainless steel backsplash panels, this offset snip for cutting metal sheet delivers controlled, right-hand and straight-line cuts every time you squeeze the handles.
