IRWIN® VISE-GRIP Aviation snips, a US-made industrial-grade metal cutting tool.
Basic Specifications
-Brand Origin: IRWIN®, a professional tool brand from the USA, is designed specifically for industrial applications.
-Material Structure: High carbon steel forged clamp body + Hot-melted forged steel blades , with an edge hardness of HRC 58, are sharp, durable, and rust-resistant.
-Applicable scenarios: Automotive sheet metal work, air conditioning pipe cutting, interior metalwork, industrial metal processing
Functional details
Three-way cutting design
- Straight shear (straight blade): Precisely cut metal sheets and iron plates, with smooth, burr-free cuts.
-Left curved blade: Counter-clockwise curved cutting is suitable for right-handed operators to access narrow areas of the vehicle body sheet metal.
-Right curved blade: Clockwise curved cutting, more convenient for left-handed users
Ergonomic design
-ProTouch™ Anti-slip Grip : Two-tone molded rubber handle design, shock-absorbing and anti-slip, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use.
- Long-life springs : Enhance leverage, optimize cutting efficiency, and make continuous operation easier.
-Industrial-grade durability
--The blade undergoes cryogenic treatment, increasing its hardness by 20%, enabling it to cut stainless steel and aluminum alloys (up to 1.2mm thick cold-rolled steel / 0.84mm thick stainless steel).
--Reinforced hinge design, capable of withstanding over 50,000 opening and closing cycles, exceeding ANSI standards in durability.
