Metal snips and metal shears are both essential hand tools used for cutting metal, but they serve different purposes and are designed for specific types of cuts and metal thicknesses. Metal snips, often referred to as tin snips, are available in various styles, including straight-cutting, left-cutting, and right-cutting, each designed to make straight or curved cuts in specific directions. These tools are manually operated and resemble scissors in their mechanism, providing the user with control over the cut, making them ideal for detailed work or in tight spaces. They are commonly used in HVAC work for cutting ductwork, in roofing for trimming metal flashing, and in general sheet metal work. The design of the snips allows for precise cuts on thinner metals, typically up to 18-gauge, depending on the snips' quality and design. Metal shears, on the other hand, resemble large scissors and are designed for making straight, long cuts more efficiently. They can handle a broader range of metal thicknesses, including medium-gauge sheets, and provide a faster, cleaner cut compared to snips. Some metal shears are equipped with compound leverage, increasing the cutting force with less effort from the user, making them suitable for larger projects where long, straight cuts are required. Metal shears are frequently used in fabrication shops, auto body work, and construction projects where cutting larger pieces of metal quickly and with precision is crucial. Choosing between metal snips and metal shears depends on the specific requirements of the job. For detailed, intricate cutting or working in confined areas, metal snips offer the precision and maneuverability needed. For larger projects requiring extended straight cuts or working with thicker metals, metal shears provide the necessary power and efficiency. Ohio Power Tool offers a selection of both metal snips and metal shears, catering to professionals across various industries, ensuring that whether the task demands detailed shaping or extensive cutting, the right tool is available to achieve optimal results with precision and efficiency.
