Why this one
Crmo steel jaws
The cutting jaws are made from CrMo steel, giving them the toughness and edge retention needed for day-in, day-out sheet metal work.
Steel wire capacity up to 1.5 mm
These jaws handle steel wire up to 1.5 mm thick and stainless steel sheet up to 0.9 mm thick, covering the gauges HVAC technicians, roofers, and general contractors encounter most often.
Bi-material grips
The black-and-yellow bi-material handles combine a firm inner core with a softer outer layer that cushions your palm and resists slipping, even when your hands are oily or gloved.
Compact 250 mm length
At 250 mm overall and weighing 483 g, this tool fits easily into a belt pouch or apron pocket so it is always within reach on the jobsite.
Designed for straight cuts
The jaw geometry is purpose-built for linear cuts along layout lines, making it the go-to choice when you need a clean, burr-free edge on sheet metal panels, vent caps, or custom flashings.
Read the full description
When your work demands a clean, straight line through sheet metal, you need jaws built from CrMo steel that will not twist or dull mid-cut. This 250 mm (9.8 in) tool delivers exactly that, with rated capacity for steel wire up to 1.5 mm and stainless steel up to 0.9 mm thick.
The bi-material handles give you a secure, comfortable hold whether you are wearing gloves or working bare-handed. A softer outer grip layer absorbs vibration and resists oil-induced slipping, while the rigid inner core keeps the tool stable under heavy hand pressure.
Weighing 483 g, the compact body rides in a tool pouch without dragging on your belt, yet the jaw length provides enough mechanical advantage to power through common gauges of ductwork, flashing, and decorative trim. HVAC installers, roofers, and auto-body technicians will appreciate the balance between portability and cutting authority.
The straight-jaw geometry is optimized for following scribed layout lines across flat stock. For curves and off-axis work, pair this tool with dedicated left-cut and right-cut aviation snips to complete your sheet metal tools lineup and handle any profile the job throws at you.
