Uses for Aviation Snips
Since these guys can cut 18-gauge carbon steel, you likely won’t damage them. If you think you can cut something, you probably can. But here’s a short list of common projects where they’ll prove essential:
Cutting thick plastic “clamshell” packaging from new purchases (way better than scissors)
Cutting ductwork for HVAC and laundry ventilation
Home improvement projects like repairing gutters, tin tiles, or cutting corner beads or molding
Cutting flooring like vinyl planks or carpet
Slicing cardboard, poster board, foam core, and other thick paper products. Especially helpful when cutting curves and shapes where you can’t use a craft knife
Creative projects like jewelry-making, sculpture, or art
Lawn and garden projects using hardware cloth or poultry netting
Cutting sheet plastic or PVC for around-the-house tasks
