Malco Aviation Snips FAQ - All Objections Addressed
What makes POWER-FIT™ grips better than standard handles?
POWER-FIT™ Performance Hand Grips distribute pressure evenly across your hand, significantly reducing fatigue during extended use. The ergonomic design provides a natural feel, while non-slip grooves ensure secure control even in dirty conditions. This technology allows professionals to work longer with less hand strain and better cutting precision.
Do I really need all three cut directions (right, left, straight)?
For professional work, having all three cut directions is essential for maximum versatility and efficiency. Right cut handles clockwise curves, left cut handles counter-clockwise curves, and straight cut handles general purpose cutting. Professional contractors save significant time and achieve better results with the complete set rather than trying to force one tool to do all cuts.
How thick of material can these aviation snips cut?
Malco Aviation Snips can cut sheet metal up to 18 gauge (1.22mm) thick, making them suitable for most professional applications including HVAC ductwork, roofing materials, and general sheet metal fabrication. The forged steel construction and compound leverage design provide the cutting power needed for demanding applications while maintaining precision.
Are these snips worth the investment over cheaper alternatives?
Absolutely. Malco Aviation Snips feature forged steel construction, POWER-FIT™ technology, and professional-grade engineering that delivers superior performance, longevity, and comfort. The reduced hand fatigue, precise cutting capability, and durability make them a cost-effective investment for professionals who depend on their tools daily. Cheaper alternatives often fail quickly and cause hand fatigue.
What maintenance do these aviation snips require?
Minimal maintenance is required. Keep blades clean and dry after use, occasionally lubricate the pivot point, and store in a dry location to prevent corrosion. The self-opening latch mechanism should be kept clean and free of debris. With proper care, these professional-grade snips will provide decades of reliable service. Regular inspection for blade sharpness and alignment ensures optimal performance.
Can these snips cut materials other than sheet metal?
Yes, Malco Aviation Snips are versatile tools that can cut vinyl plastics, layered materials, fabric, cardboard, and other thin materials in addition to sheet metal. However, they're specifically engineered for metal cutting applications and perform best on materials within their designed thickness range. Always use appropriate safety equipment regardless of material being cut.
What shipping options are available for aviation snips?
