HURRICANE 3pc 10" Aviation Tin Snips Set - Color-Coded Straight/Left/Right, Cr-V Micro-Serrated Blades

HURRICANE's 3-piece 10" aviation tin snips set gives you straight, left and right cutting capability in one kit for sheet metal, gutters, ductwork and DIY metal shaping.

This compact toolkit groups three purpose-built snips — yellow for straight and wide curves, red for tight left turns, and green for tight right turns — so you can follow cutting lines without swapping tools. Each tool features forged Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) micro-serrated blades for better grip on metal, a non-slip TyreGrip handle to reduce hand fatigue, and a safety latch plus hang hole for tidy storage.

How do these snips handle different cutting directions?

Each color-coded snip is shaped for a specific cutting path, eliminating guesswork on the job. The yellow snip is optimized for straight cuts and broad curves, while the red and green snips let you negotiate tight left- and right-hand curves respectively. Color coding speeds work and reduces mistakes when following complex lines.

• Yellow: straight cuts and wide-radius curves
• Red: tight left-hand curves and offset cuts
• Green: tight right-hand curves and precision turning
• Color-coded handles for quick identification

What materials and thicknesses can these aviation snips cut?

The blades are built to cut thin, soft sheet materials common in HVAC, gutter and siding work. They cut up to 20-gauge cold rolled steel and 22-gauge stainless steel; heavier or hardened metals will damage the blades. These snips are not intended for fabric, cardboard, fiberglass or wire mesh.

• Rated up to 20-gauge cold rolled steel
• Rated up to 22-gauge stainless steel
• Forged Cr-V steel with micro-serrations for bite and control
• Avoid hardened steel, rods or wire mesh to protect blade life

How comfortable and safe are these shears to use all day?

Ergonomic non-slip TyreGrip handles reduce strain and improve control during repetitive cutting. Each snip features a self-opening spring for smooth strokes and a manual safety latch that locks the blades closed for safe storage and transport. A hanging hole helps keep tools organized on the jobsite or in the shop.

• TyreGrip rubber reduces hand fatigue and slipping
• Self-opening spring for efficient cutting cycles
• Manual safety latch secures blades when not in use
• Built-in hang hole for convenient storage

How should I maintain the blades for long life?

Regular cleaning and light oiling will keep the Cr-V blades performing well and resist surface rust. Avoid cutting materials that dull or chip the edge, and store the snips locked and dry. Periodic sharpening by a professional improves performance if you notice reduced bite or rough cuts.

• Wipe blades clean after use and apply light oil
• Store locked and dry to prevent corrosion
• Do not use on hardened metals or non-metal materials
• Sharpen professionally when cutting quality declines
