Offset Aviation snips flow material away from blades and positions the user’s hand above the material for best maneuverability when making long cuts or tight curves. These snips feature GLIDETECH® FORGED BLADES: unequalled strength, longest-lasting edge life, and the most precise cutting action. Blades are hot drop forged of molybdenum alloy steel and Austemper® heat-treated to accept best and hold their precision ground cutting edge. Blades are cut completely from the “pinch of the blades through their points” and pivot on a Grade 8 bolt threaded and affixed into the bottom blade, keeping blades in precision adjustment and, if necessary, allowing them to be readjusted, extending peak performance. Equipped with KUSH’N-POWER® (US D718,602, D719,808) compound leverage handle action, it multiplies handle force while providing a soft, sturdy and comfortable grip.

Adjustment Video
If, after extensive use, material folds between blades instead of being cut, re-adjust blades:
- Loosen the locknut on the blade adjustment screw and unlock the safety latch, freeing the handles.
- Hold handles together in hand and tighten adjustment screw by turning head of screw clockwise with other hand. Tighten the adjustment screw just enough to hold the handles in this position.
- Holding the locknut in place, turn the adjustment screw head counterclockwise just enough to allow the handles to spring open.
- Tighten the locknut on the adjustment screw.
Tips
- Keep blades in adjustment for optimum performance and to maximize cutting life
- Use the proper model and blade pattern for the job
- Do not use snips to cut wire, nails, etc.
- Do not exceed cutting capacity for tool
- Keep blades clean by wiping with a light coat of oil
- Work safely — wear safety glasses when working with hand tools
- Do not use a snip for purposes other than cutting metal
- Be careful of sharp edges on snip. Fully close snip and latch when putting back in tool box or tool belt
