Westward 1UG15 Offset Aviation Snip
The Westward 1UG15 is a left-cutting offset aviation snip built for sheet-metal work in automotive, HVAC and general fabrication. Its steel blades handle straight and tight curved cuts where a straight snip cannot reach. The tool is intended for trade professionals and serious DIY users who need a reliable hand cutter for light-gauge metal.
Left-Cutting Offset Blade Geometry
The single specification that decides fit is the left-cutting offset blade geometry. The offset jaw keeps the user's hand above the workpiece while the left-cut orientation curves the waste to the left during a cut. A right-cut or straight snip will not follow the same line, so match the tool to the cut direction required by the job.
Simple Hand-Tool Operation
No assembly or adjustment is needed; the snip works straight from the box. The compound leverage reduces hand effort, but the cutting length is limited to 1 1/4 in per stroke, so long cuts need repeated bites. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the steel contains listed chemicals; wear gloves and wash hands after use.

Questions about this item
What does the 1 1/4 in cutting length mean when I am trimming sheet metal?
It gives a 1 1/4 in straight cut per squeeze, so you reposition less often on long panels.
How does the offset blade design affect the cut?
The offset blades push material down and away, keeping your hand clear of sharp edges while you follow a left curve.
What clearance do I need for the 9 3/4 in overall length in a tool bag?
The snip measures 9 3/4 in end to end, so allow at least that much depth in your pouch or drawer.
