Sheet Metal Snips NEO tools 31-063, 240 mm, bent right-hand blades

NEO tools Sheet Metal Snips 31-063 are 240 mm hand-operated cutting shears with bent right-hand blades, created for cutting sheet metal and thin metal materials. The right-bent blade geometry allows improved access in confined areas and better visibility of the cutting line when working from the right side. These snips are intended for manual cutting operations where precise straight and curved cuts are required, and they are balanced for comfortable single-hand use in HVAC, roofing, metal fabrication and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

These sheet metal snips combine a compact 240 mm length with a bent right-hand blade profile to offer easier maneuvering around obstructions and cleaner curves on metal sheets. The hand-operated mechanism provides tactile feedback for controlled cutting, while the bent blade angle reduces the need to twist the wrist or reposition the workpiece frequently. The tool is suitable for repeated field use and small workshop jobs where portability and accuracy are important.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin sheet metal in HVAC and ventilation installations
• Trimming and shaping roofing panels and flashings
• Metal fabrication tasks requiring straight and curved cuts
• On-site maintenance and repair work involving metal sheets

Key specifications

• Total length: 240 mm
• Blade type: bent, right-hand cutting profile
• Operation: manual hand snips for sheet metal
• Intended materials: thin sheet metals and similar thin metal materials

How to use

Position the sheet metal snips so the bent right-hand blades face the intended cutting direction and align the cutting edge with your marked line. Apply steady, controlled pressure to the handles and guide the snips along the cut to maintain a consistent path. For curved cuts, use smooth, continuous movements and adjust the tool angle to follow the curve. When cutting longer sections, make progressive cuts rather than forcing a single long stroke to ensure a straighter edge and reduce metal deformation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect blade condition regularly and keep blades clean and free of debris to ensure precise cutting. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting sheet metal. For thicker or harder metals, use snips designed for heavier gauge material to avoid damaging the blades.
