HOGERT HT3B502 tin snips 250 mm, right-cut, for sheet metal

HOGERT Skārda grieznes 250mm, labējās (HT3B502) are hand shears designed for cutting sheet materials up to 1.5 mm thick. They have hardened cutting edges and a two-material non-slip handle for a secure grip, complying with DIN 6438 manufacturing standards.

Advantages

The blades are made from chrome-molybdenum steel and feature slightly serrated cutting edges for improved cutting accuracy. Cutting edges are induction hardened to 60–62 HRC for wear resistance and durability. The tool is designed to resist deformation and includes a locking mechanism for safe storage and transport. The profiled, non-slip two-material handle provides comfortable and stable handling during use.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel sheet up to 1.5 mm
• Cutting aluminium sheet up to 1.5 mm
• Cutting plastic sheets and thin wire mesh
• Trim and finish work on ventilation ducts, roofing or signage

When it may not be suitable

Not intended for cutting hardened steel plates, structural steel thicker than 1.5 mm, or materials with embedded fasteners. Repeated heavy-duty use beyond specified thickness may accelerate blade wear or damage the tool.

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Maximum cutting thickness: up to 1.5 mm (sheet materials)
• Blade material: chrome-molybdenum steel
• Blade hardness: 60–62 HRC (induction hardened)
• Handle: two-material, profiled, non-slip
• Locking mechanism: yes
• Manufacturing standard: DIN 6438

How to use

Position the shears so the material aligns with the cutting edges and apply steady, even pressure while guiding the tool along the intended cut. For best results with thin sheets, support the workpiece to avoid bending and use the serrated edges to reduce slipping. Engage the locking mechanism when the tool is not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended material type and maximum thickness (up to 1.5 mm)
• Frequency and intensity of use (hand tool suitable for light to medium tasks)
• Need for serrated edges and hardened blades for precision and wear resistance
• Handle ergonomics and non-slip grip for comfort during extended use

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection when cutting sheet materials and inspect blades regularly; replace or service the tool if you notice significant dulling, chipping, or deformation to maintain cutting quality and safety.
