Malco Max 2000 Series Aviation Snips — Industry Standard for HVAC and Roofing Professionals
Professional-Grade Malco Aviation Snips for Precision Metal Cutting
The Malco Max 2000 Series Aviation Snips are the industry standard for HVAC, roofing, gutter installation, and sheet metal professionals. Engineered with precision-ground alloy steel blades, hardened forged steel jaws, spring-loaded compound leverage action, and ergonomic POWER-FIT comfort grips, these snips deliver superior cutting power with reduced hand fatigue through the longest work shifts. Nine variants cover every cutting orientation — left, right, combo, offset, and vertical — with color-coded handles for instant identification. Available individually starting at $54.99 with local pickup at the GutterAll warehouse in Damascus, OR, or nationwide shipping to all 50 states.
Key Features & Construction
Precision-ground alloy steel maintains a sharp cutting edge through heavy professional use without requiring frequent resharpening.
Contoured comfort grips reduce hand and wrist fatigue during extended cutting sessions — critical for full-day HVAC and roofing work.
Auto-opening spring and compound pivot provide maximum cutting force with minimum hand effort, even through 18-gauge steel.
Forged construction provides jaw strength and rigidity that cast or stamped alternatives cannot match under daily professional load.
Industry-standard color coding — red for left cut, green for right cut, yellow for combo — allows instant tool identification on the job site.
Mini, standard, offset, and vertical models cover every cutting orientation — straight runs, tight curves, overhead access, and confined-space ductwork.

Professional Usage Guide
- Select the correct model: red (left cut), green (right cut), yellow (combo) — match cut direction to your layout.
- Mark the cutting line clearly on the sheet metal before starting.
- Position snips perpendicular to the material surface with full blade contact.
- Use the full length of both blades for maximum efficiency — do not nibble with the blade tips.
- Apply steady, controlled pressure and let the compound leverage do the work.
- For tight curves, make small incremental cuts advancing along the marked line.
- For offset models, work with the blade offset away from the material surface to maintain visibility.
- Wipe blades after use to remove metal shavings and apply a drop of light oil to the pivot point monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between left cut, right cut, and combo aviation snips?
Left cut snips (red handles, e.g. M2006 / AV1) cut curves to the left and are ideal for counterclockwise cutting. Right cut snips (green handles, e.g. M2007 / AV2) cut curves to the right and are the most common choice for right-handed operators. Combo snips (yellow handles, AV3) cut straight lines and gentle curves in both directions — a versatile everyday option. Offset and vertical variants provide additional blade angle options for tight-radius and overhead cutting.
What materials can Malco Max 2000 aviation snips cut?
Malco Max 2000 aviation snips cut sheet metal up to 18-gauge, aluminum, copper, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and light-gauge sheet materials. They are designed for HVAC ductwork, roofing flashing, gutter installation, downspout modification, automotive body panels, and general metalworking.
