Irwin Extra Cut Utility Snips

The Irwin Extra Cut Utility Snips are aviation snips engineered for making long, precise cuts in lightweight sheet materials. Featuring cold-formed precision blades, these 290mm snips deliver enhanced cutting performance with extended blade life and reduced cutting force required per stroke.

The compound cutting action significantly reduces hand fatigue during extended use, whilst the high-strength alloy steel spines provide the durability needed to handle tougher materials under greater pressure. An optimised torsion spring ensures consistent, smooth operation throughout the tool's life, enhancing both reliability and user control.

Designed with the tradesperson in mind, these utility snips incorporate solid over-moulded soft-grips for superior comfort during prolonged cutting tasks. The safety latch is positioned for easy reach from the handle, allowing convenient one-handed opening and closing with a simple push-up release mechanism. Ideal for HVAC contractors, sheet metal workers, and general contractors working with thin gauge materials.
