Snips, also known as shears are used to cut tough webs and sheet metals. Tinner snips have wide jaws and depending on the size they can cut between 24 and 16 gauge cold rolled low-carbon tin; straight pattern tinner snips are for straight cuts and gental curves, while duckbill tinner snips, or trojan pattern, can more easily cut curves or shapes. Compound-action snips are able to exert a higher force due to the design of thier linkage. They can handle aluminum up to 18 gauge,mild steel up to 24 gauge, and stainless steel up to 26 gauge. Compound snips have three designs: straight cutting, left cutting, and right cutting. These help to cut curves due to the stiffness of the material.
