Milwaukee Straight Cut Aviation Tin Snips

Milwaukee Straight Cut Aviation Tin Snips

The Milwaukee 48-22-4560 Straight Cut Aviation Tin Snips are heavy-duty metal cutting snips designed to deliver long life and clean, precise cuts across a wide range of sheet metal tasks. Built with forged steel blades and laser-hardened cutting edges, these snips stay sharp longer while the serrated blade design grips material for smooth cutting with less slipping. Milwaukee’s BOLT LOCK™ design keeps the blades tightly secured to prevent loosening, while comfort grip handles and optimized leverage reduce cutting effort. With chrome plating for rust protection, a one-handed metal swing lock, and color-coded handles for quick jobsite identification, these snips are ready for long days in the shop or on the jobsite—because metal should give up before your hands do.
