Aviation Snips Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-MWLE-9208
Jlab Export is a leading Aviation Snips Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Aviation snips are compound-lever shears for cutting sheet metal by hand. A second pivot between the handles and the jaws multiplies the force of the grip. This pair is drop forged from alloy steel. Its induction-hardened edges are serrated, so they bite into the sheet and stop it sliding out of the jaws. An auto latch keeps the snips closed and opens with one hand.

Sheet Metal Practicals with the Snips
A first sheet-metal job is a small open box or tray. Students mark the development on Galvanized Steel Sheet with a Scriber and cut round the outline with the snips. The corner squares are cut out so the sides can fold up. The serrations hold the cut on the scribed line even on smooth, oily sheet.
The cut edges are then deburred with a Flat File, folded over a straight edge and joined at the corners. Repeating the job on Aluminium Sheet shows students how a softer metal cuts with less effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the serrated edges do?
The fine serrations grip the sheet as the jaws close, so the metal cannot creep forward out of the cut. The cut stays on the line, and long cuts need fewer corrections.
How are aviation snips different from plain tin snips?
Aviation snips have a compound linkage. The extra pivot multiplies the force from the hand, so sheet that would tire the wrist with plain snips cuts in short, easy bites. Plain tin snips have a single pivot, like scissors, and long blades.
How does the auto latch work?
Squeeze the handles fully shut and the latch catches by itself. The thumb of the hand holding the snips releases it again, so the other hand can stay on the sheet. Keep the snips latched in the tool drawer.
Which snips should I use for curves?
For curves that turn to the left, the Aviation Tin Snips are an offset left-cut pair with red handles. For right-hand curves there is a right-cutting pair of Cutting Aviation Snips.
How should the snips be looked after?
Wipe the jaws after use and put a drop of light oil on the pivots. Do not cut wire, nails or hardened strip, because a hard object can nick the hardened edges. Store them latched and away from loose tools.
