McMaster 7362N11 Compact High-Force Sheet Metal-Cutting Snips, Straight, Right Curve and Left Curve Cutting Pattern

Snip tighter curves in smaller spaces than standard high-force snips. These snips have a compact head and short handles, so you can slice through metal with one hand. Also known as aviation snips, they have a double hinge that delivers more cutting force per squeeze than regular sheet metal-cutting snips. However, their short handles give you less leverage than full-sized high-force snips.

Latch Lock — For safety, snips have a latch that locks the blades together when not in use.
