I bought them for general shed and DIY work where I needed something more capable than basic tin snips. Ease of cutting is a big strength. The compound action works exactly as intended, making it easy to cut through tougher materials without excessive hand force. They don’t feel like you’re fighting the tool, even when cutting thicker sheet or wire mesh. Cut quality is very good. The blades are sharp and stay on line, producing clean, controlled cuts rather than tearing or deforming the material. This makes a noticeable difference when accuracy matters, especially on straight cuts. Sturdiness is exactly what you’d expect from the FatMax range. They feel solid and confidence-inspiring, with no flex in the handles or blades. Everything about them suggests they’re built for regular use rather than occasional light duty. Comfort is also good. The grips are well shaped and provide a secure hold, even when applying more force. They’re comfortable enough to use for longer sessions without hand fatigue becoming an issue. Overall, these are sharp, strong, and easy to use snips that deliver clean cuts and feel built to last. At £11.95, the value for money is excellent and hard to fault. Review: Perfect tin snips - Fantastic quality tin snips. Very well made and they work perfectly. Very sharp and a great price too. ## Features - Length: 250mm - Serrated cutting edges prevent slippage when cutting - Double pivot action for high cutting power ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001IWB1M | | Best Sellers Rank | 979 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Tin Snips | | Blade Edge | serrated,straight | | Blade Length | 250 Millimetres | | Blade Material | Forged Chrome Molybdenum Alloy | | Blade material | Forged Chrome Molybdenum Alloy | | Brand | STANLEY | | Colour | Black and Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 15,215 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Finish | Alloy,Aluminium,Chrome,Metal,Plastic,Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03253562145635 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Importer Contact Information | Stanley Black & Decker India Private Ltd #28, Akemps, 3rd Main, 1st Cross, Ashwini Layout Koramangala Bangalore - 560047 | | Included Components | Components included | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | handed | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30L x 7.5W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Tijeras Corta Chapas Corte recto FatMax | | Item Weight | 14.29 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Stanley Black & Decker | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | Stanley - 14-563 #2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | Stanley Black & Decker India Private Ltd #28, Akemps, 3rd Main, 1st Cross, Ashwini Layout Koramangala Bangalore - 560047 | | Part Number | 2-14-563 | | Point Style | Serrated | | Product Style | Straight Cut | | Product dimensions | 30L x 7.5W centimetres | | Style | Straight Cut | | UPC | 604310236816 013523111092 013523046752 798256151521 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Blade material:** Forged Chrome Molybdenum Alloy - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Colour:** Black and Yellow - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Product dimensions:** 30L x 7.5W centimetres ## Images ![FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ATIJtZh+L.jpg) ![FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SPIGlPsOL.jpg) ![FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jFPSJEIlL.jpg) ![FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611Yc--VpdL.jpg) ![FATMAX Straight Cut Compound Action Aviation Snips, Suitable for Aluminium, Sheet UPVC, Wire Mesh, Leather, Copper, Plastic and Mild Steel, 2-14-563 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A+eToux6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will these give a nice straight, non sharp edge when cutting through 16 gauge wire mesh? Thanks** A: Hi Heather - No, tin snips or aviation snips are for sheet metal - what you need for cutting wire is something like these:http://www.amazon.co.uk/diy/dp/B000X1R41OJust search for 'side cutters' or 'diagonal side cutters'. Stanley, Irwin or Draper are all reputable brands and not too expensive. Hope this helps. **Q: Will these cut a 0.9mm thick stainless steel ruler which is 26.1mm wide? Thanks** A: Yes **Q: Are they any good for cutting hard plastic.I want to cut out a section of an aquarium lid ? Thanks** A: I have used them for cutting plastic so should be o k **Q: Will these cut a curve - I'm cutting tin 'sail' shapes for an art project** A: These tin snips are not suited for tight curved cuts, perhaps above 500mm radius only. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very strong, sharp snips with clean cuts and excellent value *by B***N on 3 January 2026* I picked up these Stanley FatMax straight cut aviation snips for £11.95, which is exceptional value for a tool of this quality.
