The Irwin Vise-Grip 2073113 aviation snip cuts straight ahead and through gentle curves, following the universal yellow-handle convention for straight-cutting tinner snips. Hot drop-forged blades hold an edge through repeated cuts in cold-rolled sheet steel, aluminum, vinyl siding, and screen. The compound-leverage handle multiplies hand force so a full thickness cut takes less squeeze, and the serrated lower blade grips the workpiece to prevent the metal from slipping ahead of the cut.

• Cuts STRAIGHT and through wide curves (yellow handle convention)
• Hot drop-forged blades for strength and edge retention
• Serrated lower blade for cleaner, slip-free cuts
• Safety latch with one-handed release - lock the snips closed for safe pocket carry
• ProTouch cushion grip handles for comfort and control
• 10" overall length, compound-leverage design

Tip: The yellow straight snip is the most versatile of the three colors and the one to buy first if you only own one. It handles straight cuts and shallow curves in either direction; reach for red (left) or green (right) when you need to follow a tight curve.
