Description
The Bessey D16 Sheet Metal Right Cutting Aviation Snips are professional-grade compound leverage snips designed for precise short, straight, and right-hand curved cuts in sheet metal. Featuring high-grade steel cutting blades hardened up to HRC 59, these durable snips deliver reliable cutting performance for metal roofing, sheet metal fabrication, HVAC, and general metal construction.
The micro-serrated cutting edges provide a secure grip on sheet metal to help prevent slipping during cutting. The forged steel cutting head features a slight offset for right-hand curves and controlled cutting in detailed applications. A compound leverage mechanism increases cutting force while reducing the hand effort required, improving efficiency during repetitive metalworking tasks.
Measuring 9.5 inches long, the Bessey D16 combines professional cutting capacity with ergonomic two-component handles for comfortable, secure operation. Its durable burnished steel cutting head and galvanized or burnished connecting components make it a dependable choice for professional sheet metal workers and contractors.
