About This Product

HVAC and sheet metal pros agree: when making long, straight cuts in thinner-gauge sheet metal, tinner snips are the way to go. They're a simple, economical, and durable cutting solution for many sheet metal and HVAC applications. New Crescent Wiss lightweight aluminum and drop-forged steel tinner snips are the most durable we've ever made with precision-ground cutting edges and an adjustable pivot bolt. Available in a wide selection of styles and sizes, there's a perfect Crescent Wiss snip for every job. The 13 in. Lightweight Aluminum Handle Tinner's Snips have a longer handle length and a rounded head design to improve cutting leverage. Large, wide handle loops comfortably fit all hand sizes. The sleek head design reduces the effort required by allowing an easy flow of material while cutting.

Highlights

  • Precision-ground cutting edges provide superior cutting quality and reduced cutting effort through optimized blade geometry
  • Torque control handle rings provide superior comfort, fit, and are sized to accommodate hands with or without gloves
  • Lightweight design heavy-duty die cast aluminum construction is durable and reduces user fatigue
  • Control channel accommodates index finger for increased control and cutting stability
  • Touch point ergonomics optimize hand and finger contact points in handles to maximize fit, control, and user ergonomics
  • Easy adjust pivot bolt allows quick and easy adjustment to fine tune cutting blade tension for optimal cutting performance

      Can these be used to cut tin roofing sections?

      Answer This Question

      Yes they can, provided the material doesn't exceed 22 gauge. Keep in mind that these are designed for straight cuts and any serious curves may require a different blade shape.

      Can these be used to cut 1/8" x 1" aluminum Moulding?
      ByMay 20, 2020
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hey BlackCherokee, 1/8" aluminum would be roughly 11 gauge. These are meant for 22 gauge and thinner. For metal that thick you need something with more than manual power, a saw would be better suited. Thanks!

        Does Home Depot carry the replacement blades for the Crescent Wiss 14 inch straight cut tinners snips? The replacement blade number is #W14LRB. Thank you. By the way, these snips work great on my metal craft projects. Highly recommend.

        Hey BHB, Thank you for the kind words. At this time we do not offer the replacement blades through Home Depot but I will look into getting them loaded online for purchase. Thanks!

          Can’t get any better.
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These runner cutters are great. Very well made. They also work great on cutting vinyl and aluminum siding. They fit and feel great in the hand. They are proportioned for easy cutting of heavier/thicker materials. Like I stated these are perfect for siding. I dropped them off scaffolding that was almost two stories up and it didn’t do a bit of damage. I highly recommend these. I know I will be getting more.

            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool very light weight and extremely sharp. It is light weight very comfortable to hold during use. Has very good cutting edge makes a very clean cut on various metals i used it on highly recommend for every day use.

              This is a sturdy set of snips!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are excellent snips. They are large, to be sure. They are much moreso than typical aviation snips or similar tools. They grip and feel similar to really big scissors. They are far from unwieldy, thanks the smaller holes above the handles. I actually find myself using them as a sort of marker to steady my cuts as well as aiding in management of the size of the tool. Don't worry, though, the large size is of little consequence compared to their usefulness. They are definitely well made and a HEAVY DUTY tool. I have used them to cut roofing metal and various other metal and vinyl materials, just to see what they're capable of doing. What impressed me most is how CLEAN the cuts they make are. Normal aviation snips can often leave a rough pattern behind after cutting metals. These do not. The cut is clean and smooth like scissor cuts on paper. In fact, careful work could produce near factory quality edges. I'm sure I will find more uses along the way but for now I am definitely packing them for an upcoming roofing job.

                12” lightweight aluminum timber snips
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m used to using regular tin snips but figured I’d give these a try. I must say I’m pretty impressed they are light weight and have a bigger bite compared to a basic set. Cuts its way threw tin very easily. With its handles being big I thought it may be awkward to use but they are actually very comfortable. I highly recommend this product and with the name crescent on it you know it’s quality.

                  Great for drip edge and facia.
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice addition to the toolbox here. Extremely lightweight, ergonomic design make for easy work that sustainable for all day work. Pointed nose allows for ease of cuts in tight corners. These snips are perfect for drip edge and facia.

                    Awesome!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When i first started using this, i did not think that this was a piece of junk. I was definitely wrong. The shape of the handle makes you think its uncomfortable in it's handling. It takes a little getting used to, but after the initial change of design it will be the best pair of shears you'll have. I was cutting through everything! Nice and smooth like a Commodores hit song.
