Apex Tool Group M1R Wiss Metalmaster Left Cut Aviation Snips hand tool

Left-cut aviation snips

The Apex Tool Group M1R Wiss Metalmaster is a left-cut aviation snip built for sheet-metal work. Its compound lever action lets the user cut carbon steel up to 18 gauge. Molybdenum steel blades resist wear from the high pressures generated during cutting. Non-slip grips add control and comfort for extended use.

Sheet-metal workers needing left curves

These snips suit tradespeople who regularly cut tight left-hand curves or straight lines in light-gauge metal. The red handles identify the left-cut orientation at a glance. Workers who only cut right curves or straight lines should choose the matching right-cut or straight-cut model instead. The tool is not designed for heavy plate or non-metallic materials.

Hand-tool kit addition

The 9-3/4 inch length fits standard tool pouches and hangs from a pegboard via the supplied hang tag. No power source or additional accessories are required for operation. The compound action reduces the hand force needed, freeing the user to focus on cut accuracy rather than exertion. The cutting length of 1-3/8 inches determines the maximum single-stroke depth.
