Precision Metalwork Made Easy: The Marksman Compound Aviation Snips

The Marksman Aviation Tin Snips are a specialist hardware tool designed for accuracy and durability in metal fabrication. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritise tools that facilitate professional-grade installations. Whether you are trimming lead flashing, cutting galvanised steel ducting, or shaping uPVC trim, these aviation-style snips provide the mechanical advantage required to produce burr-free edges and clean profiles, supporting a more sustainable and efficient workflow.

Forged from chrome vanadium steel, the jaws are induction-hardened to maintain their sharpness even when cutting through tougher gauges. The “Straight Cut” (Yellow Handle) configuration is the most versatile in any toolkit, allowing for long, continuous runs and wide-radius curves in a variety of sheet materials.

Key Features & Professional Benefits

• High-Leverage Compound Design: The multi-pivot mechanism significantly increases the cutting force applied to the blades, allowing you to cut through up to 1.2mm cold-rolled steel with ease.
• Anti-Slip Serrated Jaws: Micro-serrations along the blade edges bite into the metal as you cut, preventing the material from sliding out of the jaws and ensuring a more accurate line.
• Ergonomic Bi-Material Grips: The non-slip rubberised handles are designed with finger guards to protect your knuckles from the sharp edges of the cut metal.
• Automatic Spring Opening: Features a heavy-duty internal spring that automatically re-opens the jaws after each snip, allowing for rapid, one-handed operation.
• Trade-Ready Durability: Finished with a corrosion-resistant coating to withstand the varied and often damp conditions of UK construction sites and workshops.

Expert Tip: When cutting sheet metal, try not to close the snips all the way to the tip of the blades at the end of each stroke. Stopping just before the end of the jaw prevents the “nibble” mark or burr often left at the end of a cut, resulting in a much smoother, professional finish that requires less filing.
