Facom Aviation Snips

The Facom Aviation Snips in Straight Cut configuration are distinguished by their yellow colour coding, providing instant visual identification. This variant is designed for cutting straight lines through sheet metal, making it essential for ductwork installation, metal roofing, trim work, and general fabrication where precision straight cuts are required. These 250mm snips feature forged chrome molybdenum blades engineered for durability and consistent performance. The high demultiplication system delivers excellent mechanical advantage, allowing you to make long, straight cuts through stainless steel up to 0.8mm and semi-hard steel up to 1.2mm without fatigue. The inset opening spring and slightly serrated cutting edges work in harmony to maintain smooth operation whilst preventing workpiece slip. Ergonomic non-slip bi-material grips ensure comfortable handling throughout the working day.
