Snips Fiskars 1027207 Straight Steel Cutting Capacity 1.214 mm

The Fiskars 1027207 Straight Steel Cutting Capacity 1.214 mm snips are straight-cut hand shears with steel blades intended for precision cutting of cold-rolled steel up to 1.214 mm thickness. Built with a focus on mechanical advantage and ergonomics, these snips combine forged, heat-treated steel components with a spring-assisted, SoftGrip handle to deliver controlled cuts and improved user comfort during repetitive tasks. The tool also provides a manual locking mechanism for secure storage and transport.

Advantages

PowerGear™ technology increases cutting force by over 40% at the most demanding part of the cut, reducing the effort required to slice through tougher sheet materials. The forged, heat-treated steel blades and handle enhance durability and maintain blade alignment under load. The ergonomic, spring-assisted handle with SoftGrip reduces hand fatigue and improves grip control, while the ability to lock the snips from above or the side adds convenience and safety when not in use.

Suitable for

• Cutting cold-rolled steel sheet up to 1.214 mm thickness
• Straight cuts in metal trim, panels and flashing
• Workshop and on-site sheet metal tasks requiring precision

Key specifications

• Cut type: Straight cut
• Cutting capacity: Up to 1.214 mm cold-rolled steel
• Blade material: Forged, heat-treated steel
• Handle: Spring-assisted ergonomic handle with SoftGrip
• Mechanics: PowerGear™ geared mechanism for increased cutting force
• Locking: Can be locked from above or the side

How to use

Place the workpiece between the blades and position the snips for a straight-line cut. Squeeze the handles smoothly, allowing the PowerGear™ mechanism to multiply applied force during the cut. Use controlled, continuous motion for longer cuts and small, measured squeezes for precision trimming. Ensure the locking mechanism is engaged when the tool is not in use and store in a dry place to minimize corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, inspect blades before use for damage or burrs and keep the cutting edge clean. Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when cutting metal. Avoid cutting materials thicker than the rated 1.214 mm cold-rolled steel to prevent premature wear or damage to the blades and mechanism.
