Proline snips 17370 — hand snips by Proline, 1 pc pack

Proline snips 17370 are manual hand snips designed for precise cutting of sheet materials. Supplied as a single-piece pack, these snips feature an offset jaw and ergonomic handles to facilitate control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive trimming tasks. They are intended for standard metal sheet cutting up to 1.2 mm thickness and for general trimming where a compact, hand-operated cutting tool is appropriate.

Advantages

The offset jaw design provides clear line-of-sight along the cutting edge, allowing more accurate cuts and easier handling around contours. Ergonomic handles improve grip comfort and provide better leverage for cutting through thin metal sheets. Construction suitable for standard metal sheet up to 1.2 mm ensures consistent performance for light metalworking and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting standard metal sheet (up to 1.2 mm thickness)
• Trimming and shaping sheet materials in maintenance or repair work
• Cutting thin non-metallic materials where a hand snip is preferred
• Compact cutting tasks in tight or confined spaces

Key specifications

• Tool type: hand snips with offset jaw
• Maximum cutting thickness: up to 1.2 mm for standard metal sheet
• Handle: ergonomic design for improved grip and comfort
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Position the snips so the material to be cut aligns with the blades and ensure a stable grip on the ergonomic handles. Use steady, controlled cutting motions and follow the material edge or marked cutting line. For cutting curves, guide the snips slowly along the desired path to maintain accuracy. Keep hands clear of the cutting jaw and avoid twisting the tool while cutting to prevent blade misalignment.

Usage recommendations

Before use, verify that the material thickness does not exceed the stated 1.2 mm limit for standard metal sheet. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting metal. Maintain blades by keeping them clean and, if applicable, lightly oiled to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Store the snips in a dry place to extend tool life.
