The Top Three Aviation Snips

Every metal roofer knows that it can be quite the challenge to cut through metal. So you need tools that will be able to get the job done. Unfortunately, not all aviation snips will be strong enough for every job. When shopping online, you want to have a good idea of what you are getting so that you know you're getting tools you can rely on.

Here are three of our favorite aviation snips:

1. MIDWEST Aviation MWT-6716B

MIDWEST® Aviation Snips cut multiple layers of sheet material such as rolled seams and S-cleat. The manufacturing process produces unequaled strength and reliability, an edge life that lasts longer, and the most accurate cutting action. Blades are hot drop-forged of molybdenum alloy steel for exceptional strength and durability and Austemper® heat-treated to best accept and hold their precision ground cutting edge. Glide-Tech® Forged Blades cut complete from "pinch of the blades through their points". Glide-Tech® Forged Blades pivot on a Grade-8 bolt that is threaded or affixed into the bottom blade keeping blades in precision adjustment the longest and if ever necessary allowing them to be re-adjusted extending peak performance cutting life to its maximum.
