Milwaukee 11 in. Long Left-Cut Offset Snips

Exactly what I need for kick plating

Bought as a gift, now I need to buy a gift for me.

Good stuff

Easily Cut Smooth Straight Lines!I used this to cut a 2″ wide by 19″ long strip of .019″ aluminum as shown in the video. The connecting bolts on these snips are flush and therefore do not snag your work as you cut. This allowed me to cut this long strip without it curling up. This occurs with other snips I own when the piece I am cutting has to clear connecting bolts that are not flush. The design of the grips are comfortable and help you maintain control of the snips while cutting. As can be seen in the video I was able to make a long smooth cut with these snips.

works as expected

I taught metal shop for years and have used just about every type of snip you could imagine. These are, by far, my favorite snips I have used. These are now my go-to snip in my tool box. The ergonomics of the handles are perfect and I can cut all day without getting a blister like my other snips. I’ve cut sheet copper, plastic decorative ceiling tile, and trim-roll aluminum with these and they worked great on all three different materials. The only thing they didn’t work well on so far was the galvanized ceiling grid track. I know I should have just used a saw, but I just wanted to see how they would do since they seem to work on anything. I think a shorter version of this snip would have had enough mechanical advantage to chop through the grid. Maybe that’s my next tool purchase.

Great

Worked as expected

Work great for ACT track
