Why this one
Crmo steel jaws
Built with CrMo steel for lasting edge retention and reliable cutting performance on demanding jobs.
Rated cutting capacity
Designed to cut steel wire up to 1.5 mm thick and stainless steel up to 0.9 mm thick, so you can tackle ductwork, flashing, gutters, and other common trade materials without switching tools.
Bi-material grips
The dual-compound handle combines a firm inner core with a softer outer layer that cushions your hand during extended use.
Compact professional size
At 250 mm (9.8 in) overall length and 493 g, this tool fits comfortably in a tool belt pouch or apron pocket.
Left and straight cutting
The jaw orientation is optimized for left-hand curves and straight lines, letting you follow layout lines without the waste strip curling into your sightline.
Read the full description
Teng Tools builds this 250 mm (9.8 in) snip around CrMo steel jaws that stay sharp through repeated cuts on steel wire up to 1.5 mm and stainless steel up to 0.9 mm. The straight jaw design handles both left-hand curves and straight lines, making it a practical choice for HVAC installers, roofers, siding contractors, and shop fabricators.
The bi-material grips pair a rigid core with a cushioned outer layer so the tool sits securely in your hand even when conditions are wet or greasy. That dual-compound construction absorbs impact and spreads grip pressure, which matters when you are making dozens of cuts per hour on a sheet metal tools layout.
Weighing 493 g, the snip balances leverage against portability. It is light enough for overhead duct trimming yet substantial enough to power through flashing and gutter stock without flexing. The compact 250 mm frame stores easily in a belt pouch, keeping your hands free when you climb a ladder or crawl through a plenum.
Whether you are finishing a residential HVAC rough-in, trimming corrugated panels on a roof, or cutting custom brackets at the bench, this left and straight snip delivers clean edges with minimal effort. Add a right-cut counterpart and you have full directional coverage for any sheet metal cutter task on the job.
