  • Description

    The Bessey D29ASSL Sheet Metal Shape and Straight Cutting Snips are professional-grade, left-cutting snips designed for precise, continuous straight cuts, left-hand curves, and detailed shape cutting in sheet metal. Featuring an optimized compound leverage mechanism, these snips require 25% less cutting effort, helping reduce hand fatigue during demanding metalworking applications.

    The compact forged steel cutting head provides excellent maneuverability for intricate cuts and tight curves. Its optimized, non-serrated cutting edges securely grip sheet metal to help prevent slipping, deliver smooth cuts, and minimize material deformation.

    Designed for extended professional use, the ergonomic ERGO-handle features soft-grip inserts and durable two-component construction for improved comfort and control. The left-cutting blade configuration makes these snips ideal for metal roofing, architectural sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, plumbing, and other precision metal cutting applications.

Bessey D29ASSL Sheet Metal Shape and Straight Cutting Snips

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bessey D29-ASSL designed to cut?


The Bessey D29-ASSL is designed for cutting sheet metal, including carbon steel up to 18 gauge (1.2 mm at 600 N/mm²). Actual cutting capacity depends on material hardness and composition.

What does left-cutting mean?


Left-cutting snips are designed for making curved cuts that turn toward the left. They can also perform straight cuts, making them useful for various sheet metal fabrication applications.

Can the Bessey D29-ASSL make continuous straight cuts?


Yes. The compact, offset cutting head allows for continuous straight cuts as well as curved and detailed shape cutting.

How do these snips reduce hand fatigue?


The optimized compound leverage mechanism requires approximately 25% less cutting force. The ergonomic ERGO-handle also features soft-grip inserts for improved comfort and control.

Are the Bessey D29-ASSL cutting edges serrated?


No. The snips feature optimized, non-serrated cutting edges that help prevent sheet metal from slipping while reducing deformation during cutting.
