Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Aviation snips are a jobsite staple for HVAC, siding, and metal roofing work. The offset handle keeps knuckles clear of the workpiece on long cuts. Pick left and right pairs for curved work and a straight snip for duct and trim straightaways.
Aviation snips have sharp blades and can leave sharp metal edges; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting.
