Questions & Answers

Q:Will these cut heavy plastic? I have a case that held a tool. It has little plastic "fences" in i...

Answer This Question

A: I think it all depends on how thick the plastic is. While the tool itself can cut thru sheet metal, plastic may actually be harder, since it's thicker. The main issue is going to be your grip force, in other words - how hard are you going to have to grip the snips in order to cut thru the plastic? I suggest you get them & try this. If they don't work, you can always return them. Of course, always wear gloves when working with cutting tools!

A: I have cut plastic inner fender on a car very easily. Not sure if that relates to your need.

Q:Can these cut through a chain link fence?

Answer This Question

A: I wouldn't try it. It's heavier than standard gauges of sheet metal and would probably ruin the edges. Spend a couple extra $$ and buy a small bolt cutter.

by|Oct 30, 2019

A: IMO - NO. These are for precision cutting of thin metal, not for something as thick as chain link. You need bolt cutters for that.

by|Oct 29, 2019

A: Nope

by|Dec 3, 2019

A: I own these and would not recommend them to cut through chain link fencing. A bolt cutter Is what is needed.

by|Oct 30, 2019

A: No, they can't cut chain link fence. you need bolt cutters for that

Q:Can these cleanly cut aluminum strip 1/8 thick?

by|Jul 19, 2019

2 Answers

Answer This Question

A: I think it depends on how steady your hand is - it's going to take a lot of grip to use these for 1/8" thick aluminum, and the longer you cut, the more tired you're going to get. I use a Dremel rotary saw with a blade for cutting metal on 1/8" thick aluminum that I use for DiY projects.

by|Sep 27, 2019

A: No. Aluminum is soft, but 1/8" is too thick for this tool to be used effectively.

A: Yes.

by|Oct 30, 2019

A: an internet search yielded the average gauge of aluminum gutters at 0.027", so it should... i use the snips to cut through frozen ice treats at school, making them easier for students to eat; washed & treated with food grade lubricant in between uses... :)

This design is better than the older, very similar "Dewalt-DWHT14675"...

This design is better than the older, very similar "Dewalt-DWHT14675" snips I used for 4+ years. The Dewalt-DWHT14675 had a blade bolt that would constantly back out during use, loosening the blades. This FATMAX 14-563 model is better designed to prevent that. Also, both blades on this FATMAX 14-563 are serrated to give traction when cutting vs one blade with the DeWalt Snips.

Bought these to cut off the loose ends of metal cable ties, and they work great! The cutting power is strong enough to allow me to use only one hand, and the locking mechanism to hold them closed is easy to use as well.

It’s very difficult to cut steel mesh to cover gutters with. I ordered a pair of aviation grade Stanley FatMax Straight Cutters. They easily cut through the mesh and I had my gutter spouts covered in less than an hour.
