CHANNELLOCK® Offset Snips are the ultimate tool in tight spaces. Easily cut curves and straight cuts with 18ga cold rolled and 22ga stainless steel while the offset design directs material away from the operator. CHANNELLOCK® Aviation Snips are 100% made in USA and the blades are forged from molybdenum alloy steel for durability and strength. The combination of precision machined serrations on cutting blades and 8:1 compound leverage with high tensile steel handles greatly optimizes cutting performance with minimal effort.
