Peltisakset offset Stanley 2-14-568

Stanley FATMAX Aviation Snips Offset are professional-grade cutting tools designed for precise trimming of sheet materials. These offset snips feature a double-pivot mechanism and serrated blades to improve cutting power and prevent slippage, making them suitable for a variety of light- to medium-duty metal and non-metal tasks.

Advantages

The tool is suitable for cutting aluminium sheet, UPVC, wire mesh, leather, copper and plastic. Bi-material easy-grip handles provide comfort and control. The snips cut up to 18 gauge mild steel (approximately 0.7–1.2 mm). Double pivot action increases cutting power while a one-handed automatic latch release simplifies handling. Serrated cutting edges reduce slippage and the forged alloy steel construction ensures strength and durability.

How to use

Hold the snips by the bi-material handles and position the material between the blades. Use steady, controlled pressure and open and close the handles along the intended cut line. For best results on metal, ensure the cutting edge is aligned with the marked line and make progressive cuts rather than forcing through thick sections. Use the one-handed latch to lock the blades when storing the tool.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection when cutting and keep blades clean and lightly oiled to maintain performance. Do not use the snips on hardened steel or materials beyond the specified thickness to avoid damage.
