Hand snips AWTools AW63100 — manual cutting tool, weight 950 g

AWTools AW63100 hand snips are a manual cutting tool designed for controlled trimming and cutting tasks in workshops, construction sites and DIY projects. The tool weighs 950 g and combines hardened carbon steel blades with a wavy-edge profile and a PTFE non-stick coating on the upper blade to reduce friction and improve cutting performance. The lower blade is chrome coated, and the snips include a tension control knob and a plastic blade holder for safe storage.

Advantages

The hardened and ground carbon steel blades provide durability and edge retention while the wavy-edge design reduces slipping along the cut line for cleaner, more consistent snips. A PTFE (teflon) layer on the upper blade lowers friction and helps material release during cutting, and the chrome-coated lower blade improves corrosion resistance. Ergonomic aluminum handles with a PP+TPR non-slip coating ensure a secure grip during extended use. The tension control knob permits adjustment when cutting denser material, and the included plastic blade holder protects the blades when not in use.

Suitable for

• Trimming and shaping hedges and shrubs
• Cutting sheet materials and trims in light workshop tasks
• General-purpose cutting in construction and DIY projects
• Controlled snipping of stems and small branches

How to use

Hold the AWTools AW63100 hand snips by the ergonomic non-slip handles and position the blades around the material to be cut. For precise results, place the workpiece near the base of the blades and apply even pressure while closing the handles. Adjust the tension control knob when cutting thicker or denser stems to reduce effort and avoid jamming. After use, wipe the blades clean and place them in the plastic blade holder for safe storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the snips for tasks that match the blade design: trimming hedges and shrubs, controlled cutting of stems and small branches, and light sheet or trim cutting. Avoid using the tool on materials beyond its intended scope or on very hard objects that could damage the carbon steel blades. Regularly clean and dry the blades and store them in the provided plastic holder to maintain cutting performance and prolong tool life.
