  • Description

    The Bessey D29ASS Sheet Metal Shape and Straight Cutting Snips are designed for precise, low-effort cutting of sheet metal in straight lines, curves, and detailed shapes. Featuring an optimized compound leverage mechanism, these professional snips require 25% less cutting effort, helping reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

    The compact, forged steel cutter head provides excellent maneuverability for tight curves, intricate cuts, and continuous cutting applications. An optimized, non-serrated cutting edge grips sheet metal securely to minimize slipping and help reduce material deformation during cutting.

    Equipped with Bessey's ergonomic ERGO-handle, these snips feature soft-grip inserts and a comfortable two-component handle design for improved control. Available in right-cutting and left-cutting versions, the D29-ASS is ideal for metal roofing, sheet metal fabrication, HVAC work, plumbing, and general metal construction.

Bessey D29ASS Sheet Metal Shape and Straight Cutting Snips

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can the Bessey D29-ASS snips cut?


The Bessey D29-ASS snips are designed for cutting sheet metal, including carbon steel up to 18 gauge (1.2 mm at 600 N/mm²). Cutting capacity varies depending on material hardness and composition.

Can these snips make both straight and curved cuts?


Yes. Their compact cutting head and optimized blade geometry make them suitable for continuous straight cuts, curves, and detailed shape cutting.

What is the difference between the right-cut and left-cut versions?


The right-cut version (D29ASS-2) is designed for cuts that curve to the right, while the left-cut version (D29ASSL-2) is designed for cuts that curve to the left. Both can perform straight cuts.

How do these snips reduce hand fatigue?


The optimized compound leverage mechanism requires approximately 25% less cutting effort. Combined with the ergonomic soft-grip handles, this helps improve comfort during extended cutting tasks.

Are the blades serrated?


No. The Bessey D29-ASS features non-serrated cutting edges with optimized blade geometry that helps prevent material slipping while minimizing sheet metal deformation.
