Hand snips Bessey D29ASS-2 right-hand, length 260 mm, stainless steel cut 1.2 mm

Bessey D29ASS-2 right-hand hand snips are 260 mm long cutting tools designed for precise manual cutting and trimming of sheet metal and thin stainless steel up to 1.2 mm thickness. The snips combine a compact cutter head for high manoeuvrability with an ERGO-handle that reduces hand fatigue. The tool is intended for continuous straight and shaped cuts and includes an optimised leverage ratio to lower the required force for moderate cutting tasks.

Advantages

The compact cutter head permits close, accurate trimming and shape cutting in confined spaces. An ERGO-handle improves grip comfort for extended use, while an optimised leverage ratio reduces hand effort by approximately 25%. The blade geometry is shaped to prevent slipping on stainless sheet without the need for serrations, and the overall design supports reliable continuous and straight cuts.

Suitable for

• Precision trimming and shaping of stainless steel sheet up to 1.2 mm
• Workshop metalworking and maintenance tasks
• On-site sheet metal cutting where a right-hand tool is preferred
• Continuous straight cuts and contour cutting in thin metal

Key specifications

• Overall length: 260 mm
• Cutting direction: right-hand
• Maximum cutting thickness in stainless steel: 1.2 mm
• Blade material: stainless steel cutting edges
• Handle type: ERGO ergonomic handle for reduced fatigue
• Cutter head: compact for high manoeuvrability
• Leverage: optimised ratio reducing cutting effort by approx. 25%

How to use

Hold the snips in the dominant hand with the ERGO-handle aligned for comfortable grip. Position the compact cutter head at the start of the cut and apply steady pressure while guiding the blades along the intended cutting line. For continuous straight cuts, keep a consistent cutting angle and advance the material or tool evenly. For shaped or contour cuts, use short controlled strokes and rotate the workpiece as needed to follow curves. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to protect the blades.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting metal. Avoid cutting material thicker than the specified 1.2 mm stainless steel capacity to prevent tool damage. Periodically inspect and clean the blades; if performance decreases, sharpen or service the cutting edges according to manufacturer guidance.
