Sheet Metal Snips, Notchers & Nibblers
Available13 products
Snips, notchers, and nibblers make straight, curved, and notched cuts in sheet metal and other flat materials. Snips cut like scissors through flat sheets and leave clean edges on straight or slightly curved cuts. Notchers cut slits at a specific angle and depth into the edges of sheet metal. Nibblers remove a strip of metal to leave smooth, even edges on flat or corrugated materials.
Cutting Length
Aviation Snips
The compound action of aviation snips increases leverage and reduces the force required to cut. They are commonly used to make short, straight, or curved cuts in aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, and cardboard.

Aviation Snip Sets
Sets include aviation snips with different blade orientations to make straight, right curved (clockwise), or left curved (counterclockwise) cuts. The cut direction refers to how the waste material will come off the blades. Snip handles are color-coded yellow for straight, green for right, and red for left. The compound action of aviation snips increases leverage and reduces the force required to cut. They are commonly used to make short, straight, or curved cuts in aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, and cardboard.

Tinner Snips
The long handles of tinner snips provide extra leverage to concentrate cutting force in the short blades. Also called tin snips or tinners, they operate like scissors with the handles swinging out on a hinge to open the blades and swinging in to close the blades. They make straight or slightly curved cuts through sheet metal and other materials. Rings on the handles provide a grip to operate the snips and help protect fingers from the blades.

Offset Aviation Snips
Offset blades on these aviation snips angle up from the handles and provide clearance between the user's hand and the material being cut. This reduces the risk of contact with sharp edges and burs. The blades sit flush against surfaces to aid long, straight cuts. Aviation snips use compound action to increase leverage and reduce the force required to cut. They are commonly used to make short, straight, or curved cuts in aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, and cardboard.

Tinner Snip Sets
Sets include tinner snips of different lengths to cut lighter-to-heavier gauge sheet metal. The snips' long handles provide extra leverage to concentrate cutting force in the short blades. Also called tin snips or tinners, they operate like scissors with the handles swinging out on a hinge to open the blades and swinging in to close the blades. They make straight or slightly curved cuts through sheet metal and other materials. Rings on the handles provide a grip to operate the snips and help protect fingers from the blades.

Duckbill Snips
The slim, tapered blades of duckbill snips cut circles and sharp curves more easily than other snips. They also cut more delicately to prevent deforming or curling of thin sheet metal.

Non-Sparking Tinner Snips
Non-sparking tinner snips contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks. This reduces the risk of ignition when making cuts in locations where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. Tinner snips' long handles provide extra leverage to concentrate cutting force in the short blades. Also called tin snips or tinners, they operate like scissors with the handles swinging out on a hinge to open the blades and swinging in to close the blades. They make straight or slightly curved cuts through sheet metal and other materials. Rings on the handles provide a grip to operate the snips and help protect fingers from the blades.
