Genius Tools 10" Aviation Snips Left Cut, Right Cut, Straight Cut

The Genius Tools 10" Aviation Snips are professional-quality sheet metal cutting shears designed for precise, efficient cutting of steel and stainless steel materials. Manufactured with forged Chrome Molybdenum steel blades, these snips provide exceptional strength, durability, and long-lasting cutting performance.

The serrated cutting edges help grip material securely during use, reducing slippage and improving cutting accuracy. Precision heat treatment gives the blades a hardness rating of HRC 58–60, while the cutting edges are further hardened to HRC 60–62 for enhanced wear resistance and cutting efficiency.

Capable of cutting up to 1.2mm cold rolled steel or 0.7mm stainless steel, these aviation snips are ideal for automotive bodywork, fabrication, HVAC installation, sheet metal work, and general workshop applications.

Available in Left Cut, Right Cut, and Straight Cut versions to suit different cutting requirements.
