Ideal 35-001 Straight Aviation Snip
The Ideal 35-001 is a straight-cut aviation snip designed for cutting sheet metal and similar materials. It features a serrated cutting edge made from chrome molybdenum steel for durability. The tool handles a cutting capacity of 18 gauge cold rolled steel and 23 gauge stainless steel. Its straight cutting direction suits linear trimming tasks.
Suited for straight cuts in light-gauge metal
This snip suits tradespeople and hobbyists making straight cuts in thin sheet metal up to the stated gauges. It is not for buyers who need to cut curves or circles, as the straight blade pattern prevents tight radii. Users requiring higher cutting capacity for thicker stock should look at heavy-duty alternatives. The tool is restricted from sale in certain states due to chemical content warnings.
Sustained cutting performance
Under continuous use the chrome molybdenum steel blade resists wear on the serrated edge. The 1 1/2 inch cutting length allows steady progress through long sheets without frequent repositioning. The straight cutting direction maintains a consistent line over extended runs. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.

Questions about this item
Does this snip cut 18 ga cold-rolled steel without extra force?
It is rated for 18 ga cold-rolled steel and 23 ga stainless, so it handles those thicknesses directly.
Will the serrated edge mark softer metals I still use?
The serrated blade grips material to prevent slip, which can leave faint tooth marks on very soft sheet.
How do I confirm the 1 1/2 in cut length is accurate after first use?
Measure a test cut with a rule; a clean 1 1/2 in straight line shows the tool is working to spec.
