How to Measure
To use these snips effectively, first select the correct snip for your desired cut direction. Secure your sheet metal workpiece firmly in a vise or with clamps. Mark your cut line clearly with a scribe or marker. For straight cuts, any snip can be used, but the red-handled snip is often preferred. For curved cuts, choose the snip color that matches the curve direction: green for left curves, yellow for right curves. Open the snip jaws fully and position the material deep within the jaws, aligning your mark. Squeeze the handles with steady, firm pressure, allowing the compound action to do the work. For longer cuts, use a series of overlapping bites, advancing the snip slightly after each cut. Always wear safety glasses to protect from sharp metal fragments.
