Our take on the Milwaukee Left Cutting Aviation Snips 10 in

These are 10-inch aviation snips built for left-curving cuts in sheet metal, with forged chrome-plated blades and a bolt lock that keeps the pivot tight. Milwaukee rates them for up to 18-gauge cold-rolled steel and 22-gauge stainless, which matches the class leaders from Wiss and Midwest. The flush bolt design and slim head help in tight spaces, and the lanyard hole suits ladder and lift work. Reviewers generally rate Milwaukee snips close to Wiss and Klein, though some find the grips bulky for smaller hands.

Questions and answers

What do left-cutting snips do differently?
They are offset so the blades curve left as you cut, letting you follow inside and outside left curves. For right curves you need the right-cutting version.
What thickness can these cut?
Milwaukee rates them for 18-gauge cold-rolled steel and 22-gauge stainless steel. Thicker or harder material needs a different tool.
How do these compare with Wiss or Midwest snips?
They are in the same class: forged blades, similar gauge ratings and a comparable pivot design. Milwaukee's bolt lock and lanyard hole are the main differences; Wiss has a longer track record with some trades.
Are they good for cutting ductwork?
Yes. The slim head and left offset suit straight and left-curving cuts in galvanized duct. For long straight runs, a dedicated straight-cut snip or a shear is faster.
Can I sharpen them?
Aviation snips are not designed to be resharpened; worn blades are usually replaced. Keeping them on light-gauge steel and avoiding hardened material extends their life.
Do they come with a lanyard?
The snips have a lanyard hole in the handle, but a lanyard is not included.
