Why Gutter Contractors Choose Midwest Special Hardness Aviation Snips
Premium gutter installations increasingly specify stainless steel gutters, hardened brackets, and specialty materials that standard aviation snips simply cannot cut effectively - and the Midwest Snips Special Hardness design solves this material challenge. Standard aviation snips are designed for aluminum and light-gauge galvanized steel, but their blades dull rapidly or fail entirely when contractors attempt to cut stainless steel or hardened components. The special hardness blade construction uses heat-treated steel specifically engineered to maintain cutting edge integrity when working with resistant materials. The 40 serrations per inch blade pattern is the critical feature that makes stainless steel cutting possible - smooth stainless surfaces cause standard snip blades to slip and skate across the material rather than grip and cut. These fine serrations bite into the material surface and hold position throughout the cutting stroke, providing the controlled cutting action that precision work requires. The high tensile strength handle construction addresses another common failure point - standard handles bend or flex when contractors apply the increased pressure needed for hardened materials, reducing cutting efficiency and causing premature tool failure. The right-cut design curves material away to the right as you cut, providing clear sightlines to your cut line and preventing material curl from obscuring your work. The green handle color follows the industry standard for identifying right-cut snips, making tool selection quick and error-free on the job site.

Important: Special Hardness vs. Standard Aviation Snips
The Midwest MWT-6716R Special Hardness snips are specifically designed for cutting stainless steel and hardened materials that standard aviation snips cannot handle. Standard snips are optimized for aluminum and light-gauge galvanized steel. Attempting to cut stainless steel or hardened materials with standard snips will dull blades rapidly, cause material slippage, and may damage the tool. For standard aluminum gutter cutting, regular aviation snips are more appropriate and cost-effective. The special hardness model is the right choice when your work includes stainless steel gutters, hardened brackets, or specialty materials.

Setup Guide - How to Use Midwest Snips Special Hardness Right Cut Aviation Snips:
- Understand the Special Hardness Advantage: These snips feature heat-treated blades and 40 serrations per inch specifically designed for cutting stainless steel and hardened materials. Use them when standard snips cannot handle the material.
- Identify Right-Cut Direction: The green handles indicate right-cut. As you cut, material will curve to the right. This keeps your cut line visible and prevents material from obscuring your work.
- Position for Serration Grip: The 40 serrations per inch grip smooth stainless steel surfaces. Position the blade perpendicular to the material for maximum serration contact and grip.
- Open Blades Fully: Spread the handles apart to open the cutting jaws completely. The high tensile strength handles are designed to withstand increased cutting pressure.
- Align with Cut Line: Position the blade edge on your marked cutting line. For stainless steel, ensure the serrations are making full contact with the material surface.
- Apply Steady Cutting Pressure: Squeeze the handles together with firm, steady pressure. The high tensile handles resist bending, allowing you to apply the pressure needed for hardened materials.
- Let Serrations Do the Work: The serrated blade pattern grips and controls the material. Avoid forcing the cut - allow the serrations to maintain grip throughout the cutting stroke.
- Store Properly: Wipe blades clean after use, especially after cutting stainless steel. Store in a dry location with light oil on the blade. The special hardness construction maintains edge integrity with proper care.
Pro Tip: When cutting stainless steel, make sure the serrations are fully engaged with the material before applying pressure. The 40 serrations per inch are specifically designed to prevent slippage on smooth stainless surfaces - but only when properly positioned.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What makes special hardness snips different from standard aviation snips?
Special hardness snips feature heat-treated blades and 40 serrations per inch specifically designed for cutting stainless steel and hardened materials. Standard snips are optimized for aluminum and light-gauge galvanized steel. The serrations grip smooth stainless surfaces that cause standard snips to slip, and the heat-treated blades maintain edge integrity when cutting resistant materials.
Q: Why do the blades have 40 serrations per inch?
The 40 serrations per inch blade pattern is specifically designed to grip smooth stainless steel surfaces. Without serrations, snip blades slip and skate across smooth stainless surfaces rather than cutting through them. The fine serration pattern bites into the material surface and holds position throughout the cutting stroke.
Q: What materials can special hardness snips cut?
Midwest special hardness snips cut stainless steel gutters, hardened mounting brackets, specialty flashing, premium metal components, and other resistant materials that standard aviation snips cannot handle effectively. They also cut standard aluminum and galvanized materials, though standard snips are more cost-effective for those applications.
Q: Why do the handles have high tensile strength?
High tensile strength handle construction resists bending under the increased pressure required for cutting hardened materials. Standard handles can flex or bend when contractors apply the force needed for stainless steel and hardened components, reducing cutting efficiency and causing premature tool failure.
Q: Should I use special hardness snips for all cutting applications?
Special hardness snips are designed specifically for stainless steel and hardened materials. For standard aluminum gutter cutting and light-gauge galvanized steel, regular aviation snips are more appropriate and cost-effective. Use special hardness snips when the material demands their enhanced cutting capability.
Q: Is contractor pricing available?
Yes. GutterAll offers volume discounts on Midwest aviation snips for contractors. Contact GutterAll at (503) 850-6784 or email sales@gutterall.com for contractor pricing.
Metal Cutting Safety Notice
ALWAYS FOLLOW PROPER HAND TOOL AND METAL CUTTING SAFETY PRACTICES. Wear appropriate safety glasses when cutting metal - cut edges and metal shavings can cause eye injury. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut metal edges, especially stainless steel which produces sharp burrs. Do not exceed rated material thickness. Stainless steel cutting requires increased pressure - ensure stable hand positioning before applying force. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edge during operation. The high tensile handles allow increased cutting pressure but proper technique remains essential. Follow all OSHA guidelines for hand tool safety.
