Right-Cut Aviation Snip
The Malco M2002 is a 10 in aviation snip designed for straight and right-curve cuts in sheet metal. Its fine-blanked hardened alloy steel blades handle 16 gauge mild steel, 18 gauge galvanised and 20 gauge stainless steel. Green colour-coded thermoplastic grips identify the cutting direction at a glance. A built-in safety latch keeps the jaws closed when not in use.
Sheet-metal workers and HVAC installers
Tradespeople cutting ductwork, flashing or light-gauge panels will appreciate the 1 3/8 in cutting length and non-serrated edges that leave a clean finish. The tool is not suited for left-curve patterns, heavy plate beyond the stated gauges, or materials that require a powered shear. Users needing a left-cut or straight-only snip should select a different model.
Right-cutting action
The defining specification is the right-cut blade geometry, which determines the tool’s suitability for clockwise curves and straight cuts in a single motion. This orientation cannot be changed, so buyers must match the snip to the required cut direction before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I set the safety latch on the Malco M2002 before making the first cut?
Squeeze the handles until the green moulded thermoplastic grips meet, then flip the latch down with your thumb until it clicks into the closed notch; the snip will not open until you push the latch back up.
When will the nonserrated cutting edge on the Malco M2002 need replacement?
Replace the snip when the fine-blanked hardened alloy steel edge can no longer cleanly sever 16-gauge mild, 18-gauge galvanised or 20-gauge stainless steel within the 1 3/8 in cutting length.
What thickness limit appears first during continuous cutting with the Malco M2002?
The 1 3/8 in cutting length and 20-gauge stainless steel rating are the first constraints reached under sustained use.
