CUT INSTALLED GUTTERS WITHOUT HAND INTERFERENCE

The Midwest Power Cutter Offset Aviation Snips (MWT-6516A) deliver the cutting access and precision that gutter installation contractors need for trimming gutters already mounted on fascia boards.

The extended 3-inch cutting length allows longer strokes with fewer rebites, dramatically increasing cutting speed on gutter runs and fabrication work. The wide blade opening accommodates thick gutter material including .027" standard and .032" commercial-grade aluminum without binding.

Why Gutter Contractors Choose Midwest Offset Aviation Snips

Professional gutter installation often requires cutting gutters that are already mounted on fascia boards - and the Midwest Power Cutter Offset Aviation Snips provide the clearance needed for this critical work. Standard aviation snips position handles at the same level as the blades, forcing contractors to work at awkward angles that create hand interference with fascia boards and rooflines. The offset design solves this problem by elevating the handles above the cutting plane, allowing the blades to access installed gutter material while hands remain clear of obstructions. This is particularly valuable when trimming gutter sections to length after installation, cutting notches for inside and outside corners, modifying gutters around downspout outlets, and making adjustments on gutters already secured to the fascia. The forged steel blade construction provides the durability that professional metal work demands - unlike stamped steel blades that dull quickly, forged blades maintain their cutting edge through thousands of cuts in abrasive aluminum and galvanized materials. The extended 3-inch cutting length increases productivity by allowing longer cuts with fewer strokes, while the wide blade opening accommodates thick commercial-grade gutter material without binding. The reduced cutting force design minimizes hand fatigue during extended jobs, enabling contractors to maintain precision throughout the day. The lightweight 1.06 lb construction makes these snips ideal for ladder work where every ounce matters.

Important: Offset Design vs. Standard Snips

The Midwest MWT-6516A features an offset design specifically engineered for cutting materials already mounted in place - the handles are elevated above the cutting plane to provide hand clearance. This is different from standard aviation snips where handles and blades are on the same plane. The offset design is optimal for cutting installed gutters, fascia-mounted materials, and work where hand clearance is critical. For bench work and general fabrication where offset is not needed, standard aviation snips may be preferred. Contact GutterAll for guidance on selecting the right snip design for your applications.

Who Uses Midwest Power Cutter Offset Aviation Snips?

Common Applications:

Setup Guide - How to Use Midwest Power Cutter Offset Aviation Snips:

1. Understand the Offset Advantage: The handles are positioned above the cutting blades. When cutting installed gutters, your hands stay clear of the fascia board while the blades access the material below.
2. Position for Installed Work: For fascia-mounted gutters, approach the cut so the offset blades can reach the material while your hands remain above the roofline and clear of obstructions.
3. Open Handles Fully: Spread the handles apart to open the jaws completely. The wide blade opening accommodates thick gutter material including commercial-grade aluminum.
4. Align Blade with Cut Line: Position the cutting blade edge on your marked cutting line. The forged steel blades provide the precision needed for clean, accurate cuts.
5. Apply Smooth Cutting Pressure: Squeeze the handles together with steady pressure. The reduced cutting force design requires less grip strength than standard snips.
6. Use the 3-Inch Cutting Length: Take full advantage of the extended cutting length by making longer strokes. This reduces the number of cuts needed and creates cleaner edges.
7. Maintain Natural Hand Position: The offset design allows you to maintain a comfortable, natural grip angle even when cutting materials at awkward locations. Use this to your advantage on ladder work.
8. Store Properly: Wipe blades clean after use and store in a dry location. Light oil on the pivot point maintains smooth operation.

Pro Tip: The offset design is specifically engineered for cutting installed materials - position yourself so the elevated handles stay clear of obstructions while the blades do the work below. This is the key advantage over standard snips for fascia-mounted gutter work.

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. Do not cut materials exceeding the rated capacity. When working on ladders, maintain three points of contact and secure footing before cutting. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edge during operation. The offset design helps maintain natural hand position but proper ladder safety must still be observed. Follow all OSHA guidelines for hand tool safety and working at heights.
