SKU CH-XGP6-4NVJ7

Holds aviation snips with heat-treated chrome vanadium steel blades that cut up to 18 gauge material using compound leverage

  • 1-5/8" serrated blades cut up to 18 gauge material
  • Compound leverage reduces cutting effort
  • Designed specifically for aviation snip storage
  • California Proposition 65 chemical warning applies

What This Product Is

Century Drill & Tool 72702 Aviation Snips are hand tools made from heat treated chrome vanadium steel. The 1-5/8" serrated blades cut up to 18 gauge materials. Compound leverage reduces the effort needed for each cut.

Who These Snips Suit

They suit tradespeople and DIYers who need to cut sheet metal up to 18 gauge with less hand force. Buyers who must avoid the Proposition 65 listed chemical should look at something else. Users needing longer blades or higher capacity will need a different tool.

Installation and Common Issues

No installation is required; the snips are ready to use out of the box. The main issue is ignoring the Proposition 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Using the tool beyond the 18 gauge limit can damage the blades or cause injury.

Highlights

  • Heat-treated chrome vanadium steel resists wear
  • 1-5/8" serrated blades cut up to 18 gauge material
  • Compound leverage reduces cutting effort

Questions about this item

Do the 72702 aviation snips require any other tools or accessories to cut sheet metal?

No additional tools are needed; the compound-leverage handles and 1-5/8" serrated blades made from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel cut up to 18 gauge material on their own.

Can I keep using my older straight-cut snips alongside these 72702 aviation snips for different cutting directions?

Yes, the 72702 snips handle straight and wide curves while your older straight-cut snips remain useful for tight straight lines, giving you a complete cutting set.

How can I confirm the 72702 snips are cutting cleanly after I start using them?

A clean cut shows a smooth edge without burrs or tearing on material up to 18 gauge, and the compound leverage should feel noticeably easier than single-leverage snips.
