Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips MWT-6716L USA

Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips (MWT-6716L)

Special Hardness Blades | 40 Serrations Per Inch | Stainless Steel Cutting | High Tensile Strength | Made in USA

CUT STAINLESS STEEL WITH LEFT-CUT PRECISION AND CONTROL

The Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips (MWT-6716L) deliver the cutting power and directional control that gutter installation contractors need for stainless steel, hardened components, and premium materials with counter-clockwise cutting patterns. These professional-grade snips feature special hardness blade construction engineered specifically for cutting through resistant materials with ease. The 40 serrations per inch blade design provides superior grip that prevents material slippage during cutting - essential when working with smooth stainless steel surfaces. The high tensile strength handle construction resists bending under the increased pressure required for cutting hardened materials. The left-cut design (identified by the red handles) curves material to the left as you cut, making this the preferred choice for left-handed users, counter-clockwise cutting patterns, and applications where material needs to curl away to the left for clear sightlines. Gutter installers working with premium stainless steel gutter systems, hardened brackets, and specialty materials throughout the Pacific Northwest rely on Midwest special hardness left-cut snips for the cutting capability and directional control that demanding applications require. GutterAll stocks Midwest Snips special hardness left-cut aviation snips at the Damascus, Oregon warehouse for contractors who require professional-grade hardened material cutting tools with left-cut direction.

Why Gutter Contractors Choose Midwest Special Hardness Left Cut 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 Left Cut design combines hardened material cutting capability with left-cut directional control. 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 left-cut design adds directional control - material curves to the left as you cut, making this the ideal choice for left-handed users who find right-cut snips awkward, for counter-clockwise cutting patterns around outlets and openings, and for any application where material needs to curl away to the left to maintain clear sightlines. 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 red handle color follows the industry standard for identifying left-cut snips, making tool selection quick and error-free on the job site.

Gutter Installation Applications:

The Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips excel in professional gutter cutting applications where standard snips fail and left-cut direction is required:

Contractor Insight: The combination of special hardness blades with left-cut direction is specifically designed for contractors who need both stainless steel cutting capability and counter-clockwise cutting patterns or left-handed control. For right-handed users and clockwise patterns, the right-cut version (MWT-6716R, green handles) is available.

Important: Special Hardness Left Cut vs. Standard and Right Cut Snips

The Midwest MWT-6716L Special Hardness Left Cut snips combine two specialized features: special hardness blades for cutting stainless steel and hardened materials, plus left-cut direction (red handles) for counter-clockwise patterns and left-handed users. For right-handed users and clockwise cutting patterns, the right-cut version (MWT-6716R, green handles) offers the same special hardness capability with opposite material curl direction. Standard aviation 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 and cause material slippage. Contact GutterAll for guidance on selecting the right snip configuration for your applications.

Cut stainless steel and hardened materials with left-cut directional control using the Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips (MWT-6716L) - the metal cutting tool that gutter contractors rely on for premium material work requiring counter-clockwise patterns and left-handed control. Also known as stainless steel snips, hardened material snips, serrated aviation snips, special hardness tin snips, premium material snips, or heavy-duty left-cut snips - these special hardness left-cut snips provide the cutting capability and directional control that premium gutter installations require. Special hardness blade construction maintains edge integrity when cutting stainless steel and hardened components. 40 serrations per inch grip smooth surfaces that cause standard snips to slip. Left-cut direction (red handles) curves material away to the left for counter-clockwise patterns and left-handed users. High tensile strength handles resist bending under the increased pressure required for hardened materials. Made in USA with American manufacturing quality.

Setup Guide - How to Use Midwest Snips Special Hardness Left Cut Aviation Snips:

1. 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.
2. Identify Left-Cut Direction: The red handles indicate left-cut. As you cut, material will curve to the left. This is ideal for left-handed users and counter-clockwise cutting patterns around outlets and openings.
3. Position for Counter-Clockwise Cutting: For circular cuts in stainless steel like downspout outlets, start at the top and cut counter-clockwise. The left-cut design curves material away from the opening, maintaining clear sightlines.
4. Ensure Serration Contact: Position the blade perpendicular to the material for maximum serration contact. The 40 serrations per inch grip smooth stainless steel surfaces that cause standard snips to slip.
5. 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 on hardened materials.
6. 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 stainless steel and hardened materials.
7. Let Serrations Grip and Cut: The serrated blade pattern grips and controls the material. Avoid forcing the cut - allow the serrations to maintain grip throughout the cutting stroke for clean, controlled cuts.
8. 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 counter-clockwise around outlets, start at the top and cut in the counter-clockwise direction - the left-cut design will curve material away from the opening, maintaining clear sightlines. This is also the natural cutting direction for left-handed contractors.

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.
