Aviation Snips Right Cut 250mm Stanley FATMAX

The Stanley FATMAX Aviation Snips Right Cut 250mm are precision cutting tools designed for straight and accurate cuts in sheet metal. With a 250 mm length and ergonomic handles, these right-cut snips deliver controlled performance for cutting cold-rolled steel up to 1.2 mm and stainless steel up to 0.8 mm. The tool is intended for professional tradespeople and DIY users who need reliable, repeatable results when shaping, trimming or modifying metal sheets.

Advantages

These aviation snips combine an ergonomic grip with a straight cutting profile to reduce user fatigue and improve control during extended use. Hardened cutting blades maintain edge retention for consistent cuts in thin steel and stainless materials. The right-cut geometry allows efficient cutting of straight lines and gradual curves to the right with minimal distortion of the material. The 250 mm overall length balances leverage and maneuverability for use in both open areas and tighter spaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting straight lines and gentle right-hand curves in sheet metal
• Trimming cold-rolled steel up to 1.2 mm thickness
• Working with stainless steel up to 0.8 mm thickness
• Metal fabrication, ductwork and HVAC paneling
• Automotive body work and repair tasks

Key specifications

• Tool type: Right-cut aviation snips
• Overall length: 250 mm
• Cutting capacity: cold-rolled steel up to 1.2 mm
• Cutting capacity: stainless steel up to 0.8 mm
• Blade design: straight cutting profile for right-hand curves
• Handle: ergonomic design for improved grip and reduced fatigue

How to use

Position the workpiece on a stable surface and mark the desired cutting line. Hold the snips with a comfortable grip, aligning the blades with the cutting line and apply steady pressure while advancing along the sheet. For right-hand curves, guide the snips so the blade follows the intended arc; for straight cuts, maintain a consistent angle and feed rate. Use the entire length of the blades for longer cuts to reduce stress on the tip. After cutting, check edge burrs and deburr if necessary to ensure a safe finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the Stanley FATMAX Aviation Snips for materials within their specified thickness range to avoid blade damage. Keep blades clean and lightly lubricated to extend life, and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting metal.
