250 mm High Leverage Straight Cut Metal Snips

When your work depends on clean, accurate cuts through steel and stainless, you need a tool that delivers leverage without bulk. This high-leverage straight-jaw design concentrates force right at the cutting edge, letting you slice through material up to 1.5 mm thick in steel wire and 0.9 mm thick in stainless steel.

The jaws are made from CrMo steel, a material chosen for its balance of hardness and toughness. That means the edges stay sharp through hundreds of cuts on ductwork, flashing, roofing panels, and siding trim. At 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 388 g (13.7 oz), the tool is compact enough for overhead work yet long enough to give you real mechanical advantage on every squeeze.

Straight and right-curve cuts are both handled by the same blade profile, so you carry one sheet metal cutter instead of two. Vinyl-coated handles provide a cushioned, non-slip surface that stays comfortable even on all-day jobsites. The pivot is factory-set for smooth action with minimal play, so your cuts track true from start to finish.

Ideal for HVAC technicians, roofers, siding installers, and general contractors who cut thin-gauge ferrous and stainless materials on a daily basis. Pair it with left and right offset snips to cover every cut direction you encounter in the field.
