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.

Questions & Answers
Are they good for trimming aluminum downspouts, say an inch or 2?
Yes, the WAL13S can handle this task.
Will this cut 26ga corrugated sheet metal with ribs or only flat goods?
Hey Steve, these Snips can tackle up to 22 gauge thickness sheet metal. Give us a call at 1-877-626-3433 if you have any additional questions on our Snips.
Where can I find the replacement blades for the 13? Lightweight snips?
Can these be used to cut tin roofing sections?
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?
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!
