Will it cut 20 gauge galvanized steel
Asked by Maidstone July 30, 20202
AnswersDepending on the users wrist and forearm strength. I am 70 and had No Complications cutting 30" of roof flashing with my snips. They cut very well and are easy to hold a straight line with. Perhaps watch a You Tube video of that product? Many are not aware that snips should be held at a small angle when using, dependent on the shear for which direction.
are these American made?
Asked by gregd May 1, 20202
AnswersI looked for the country of origin online from the product listing and found no answer for where the item is manufactured-so-I went to the toolbox, inspected all areas of the snips and still found no listing for where they are made? These snips function very well for the price. I use them a fair amount and am pleased with all uses to date. I make 10' length cuts without problems on roof flashing. They are great for straight cuts. Can't help you for the proper answer.
