Snips Bessey D114-250L left-hand stainless steel blades 250 mm, 1 mm cutting capacity

Bessey D114-250L left-hand snips feature corrosion-resistant stainless steel blades and a 250 mm overall length, designed for precise cutting of thin sheet metal and trim. The tool is manufactured for left-hand cutting action and provides a 1 mm cutting capacity in stainless steel, making it suitable for small radii, short straight and curved cuts where control and blade durability are important. The snips combine a slim cutting head and PVC-dipped handles in a compact hand tool form factor for workshop, construction and HVAC trimming tasks.

Advantages

Stainless steel blades provide corrosion resistance and consistent cutting performance on thin metal. The very slick cutting head improves maneuverability for short and curved cuts, while the left-hand cutting orientation supports precise leftward cutting motions. PVC-dipped handles enhance grip comfort and control during repetitive use, and the compact 250 mm length keeps the tool easy to handle in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin stainless steel and non-ferrous sheet metal up to 1 mm thickness
• Short straight cuts and small-radius curved cuts in trim and flashing
• Detail work in HVAC ducting, roofing trim and metal fabrication
• Workshop and on-site construction trimming where a left-cutting action is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Blade material: stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
• Cutting capacity in stainless steel: 1 mm
• Cutting orientation: left-hand (left cutting)
• Handle finish: PVC-dipped for improved grip
• Cutting head: slim, designed for short and curved cuts

How to use

Position the snips so that the left-hand cutting action follows the intended cut path; for small-radius curves, guide the workpiece with steady, even pressure to let the slick cutting head follow the curvature. Use short, controlled strokes for greater accuracy on short straight and curved cuts. Keep the blade edge aligned with the cutting line and avoid twisting the tool during the cut to maintain blade life and cutting quality. After cutting stainless steel, remove any burrs with a file or deburring tool as needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Bessey D114-250L on materials within the specified 1 mm stainless steel capacity and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials exceeding the rated thickness. Regularly inspect and clean blades after use to prevent buildup and corrosion, and store the snips dry. Select the left-hand version when the cut direction requires a left-oriented shear to improve visibility and control on the workpiece.
