We offer three different blade pattern models and two blade hardness options in this product category as well as two tradesmen sets. These models perform superior to respective model ASME Performance Requirements.Our offset model aviation snips are "The Sheetmetal Tradesman's Choice" because they are truly the easiest models to use in a variety of sheetmetal cutting applications. The offset blade pattern flows material away from the blades. This allows the snip to move forward without interference when making cuts through long sheets. It also allows the snip to cut tighter curves than other blade pattern models. The left and right blade pattern models cut the tightest curves while the straight blade pattern offers a slightly longer length of cut.Features New KUSH'N-POWER Grips.

They obviously arent taking their time when they're dealing with this product. Just get your refund **Q: Do these cut stainless steel better than the regular Midwest offset snips? Is it worth the extra money for the hardened blades?** A: They don't necessarily cut better, but they keep their edge much longer. **Q: no one has said a word about cutting stainless steel, how are they for that and at what gauge?** A: There is a chart that says 18 gauge at the bottom of the page, but in my experience these things are not as specific or definitive as they seem. I'm not sure how helpful anyone can be, but I'd use that 18 gauge as a rough guide. I have had them for almost two years now and the first thing you will notice is that they are extremely smooth even with stainless steel, if we are talking about sheet metal. Compared to cutting wire, once you are able to start the cut, it comes down to the hardness of the metal vs the hardness of the blade, and starting relates to the sharpness of the blade. If the blade is harder and the blade well sharpened (smooth), a continuous cut is not going to do much if anything no matter the thickness, as all it has to do is slice. These snips do not twist and open up, because of the way they are made and therefore it is easy to start a cut. So I would suggest very cautious trial and error, with sheet metal. You probably aren't going to find a snip/shear type tool that will cut better or thicker material than these. That said, there are other ways to cut sheet metal, with guillotine and other type tools, if you want a straight cut, and, also, hack saws, jewelers saws, etc. If you want more info, maybe just call the manufacturer and talk to someone. **Q: why can't I cut cleanly with these? I am cutting metal strapping and instead of cutting it keeps twisting in the jaws and getting stuck instead of cut** A: Turn your wrist to make sure the snips are cuting straight up and down. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***C on January 16, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on April 12, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***A on April 29, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - MIDWEST Special Hardness Aviation Snip - Left Cut Offset Stainless Steel Cutting Shears, Made in the USA - MWT-SS6510L - MIDWEST Power Cutters Long Cut Snip - Straight Cut Offset Tin Cutting Shears with Forged Blade & KUSH'N-POWER Comfort Grips - MWT-6516 - Malco Radius Divider Tool | Fast Adjusting Scribers | Normal Sheet Metal Fabrication Layout Divider | Resharpenable and Replaced Ponts (24 (Circles up to 42in)) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13179985-midwest-special-hardness-aviation-snip-left-cut-offset-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13179985-midwest-special-hardness-aviation-snip-left-cut-offset-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
