Right Offset Cutting Snip
The Westward 1UG17 is a right offset metal cutting snip built for straight and curved cuts in sheet metal. Its offset blade geometry keeps the user’s hand above the workpiece for better visibility and control. The tool suits maintenance technicians, HVAC installers and metal fabrication shops that need a reliable hand cutter for light gauge material.
Offset Blade Limits
The offset design improves clearance but reduces leverage on very thick or hardened stock. Cutting length is 1 1/4 in, so each stroke removes a short section and frequent re positioning is required on long cuts. The steel blades will dull faster on abrasive coated metals and are not intended for cutting hardened steel or non metallic materials.
9 3/4 Inch Overall Length
The 9 3/4 in overall length determines reach and hand fit; users needing longer leverage or a left hand cutting direction should select a different model. This snip is sold new and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the right-hand or left-hand offset version for my cutting tasks?
The 1UG17 is a right-cutting offset snip; choose it when you need the blade to curve right and keep the off-cut clear of your hand.
What does the 1 1/4 inch cutting length mean when I am trimming sheet metal?
It means each full stroke can shear up to 1 1/4 inches of material, so you make fewer strokes on long straight cuts.
How does the steel blade and offset design affect the tool’s performance on steel sheet?
The steel blade resists wear on ferrous sheet, while the offset handles keep your knuckles above the workpiece for safer, straighter cuts.
