The new LENOX Aviation Snips feature improvements that any Pro will notice and appreciate. The enhanced mechanical advantage not only makes it 20% easier to cut than the previous LENOX Snips, but also maximizes the cut length relative to hand span to maximize cut per squeeze; two very important features when cutting sheet metal. The enhanced finished process on the blade prevents material catching when cutting, and the patented blade connection on the pivot bolt prevents loosening and blade separation- a common frustration that prematurely sends snips on the market to the trash. Identifying color coating on both the body and handle-ends allows end users to quickly spot which snip it is (left, right, or straight) in both the toolbox and pouch. Improved ergonomics combined with an added elastomer grip on the backside handle provides comfort and stability. A smooth texture on the other handle allows the fingers to slide when squeezing providing power and ease of use.
