Hand snips Vorel 48080, length 250 mm, 1 pc pack

Hand snips Vorel 48080, length 250 mm, 1 pc pack are manual shears designed for cutting thin sheet materials. These snips provide controlled hand cutting for workshop, garage and DIY tasks where precision and simplicity are required. The 250 mm length gives a balance between reach and manoeuvrability for trimming metal, plastic and similar materials.

Advantages

The snips feature hardened cutting blades and a lever-style handle that allows efficient transfer of hand force to the cutting edge. Their compact 250 mm size makes them easy to handle in confined spaces and to store in a toolbox. Built for repeatable manual cutting, these snips offer reliable shearing performance for light metalworking and trimming operations without the need for power tools.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin sheet metal such as aluminium and steel up to appropriate thickness for manual snips
• Trimming plastic sheets, vinyl and thin composite panels
• Shaping and trimming metal flash or edges on ducts, gutters and housings
• General workshop and DIY cutting tasks requiring controlled manual shearing

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Type: hand snips (manual shears)
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Intended materials: thin sheet metal, plastic and similar sheet materials
• Typical applications: trimming, shearing and shaping of sheet materials

How to use

Hold the snips by the handles with the cutting blades aligned to the intended cut line. Position the sheet material between the blades and apply steady squeezing force to advance the cut. For straight cuts use long, continuous strokes; for curves make shorter progressive cuts while rotating the workpiece as needed. Ensure the material is securely supported to avoid bending or distortion during cutting. After use, wipe the blades clean and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting sheet materials. Avoid cutting hardened or excessively thick metal beyond the tool's capacity. Periodically inspect the blades for nicks and keep them clean; light oiling of the pivot point will maintain smooth operation.
