Bahco Aviation Compound Snips

This 250mm Straight Cut variant features yellow and blue colour-coded handles, making it the most versatile option for general-purpose straight cutting in sheet metal up to 1.2mm thick. The straight-cutting configuration is ideal for making long, straight cuts through metal sheeting, trim work, ductwork and other applications where a clean, linear cut is required. Forged from chromium and molybdenum steel, this aviation snip delivers excellent durability for occasional use by craftsmen and at home. The cutting edges are milled, serrated and hardened to 60-62 HRC, ensuring clean, precise cuts without distorting the material. The soft grip handles and return spring reduce hand fatigue during extended use, whilst the compound action provides enhanced cutting power with less effort, making it perfect for both professional tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts.
