DeWalt Straight Long Cut Aviation Snips DWHT14681 Forged Steel Serrated Blade for Sheet Metal Vinyl Copper Aluminum Cutting Tool with Ergonomic Grip

Master Long-Distance Precision with DeWalt Straight Long Cut Aviation Snips

The DeWalt DWHT14681 Straight Long Cut Aviation Snips are engineered for professionals who demand efficiency and endurance on the jobsite. Featuring an extended cutting blade, these snips allow for a significantly longer distance per cut compared to standard aviation snips, making them the ideal choice for long, straight runs in vinyl siding, screening, and aluminum. The blades are forged from premium chrome vanadium steel, ensuring maximum durability and a sharp edge that lasts. With a reduced handle span design, these snips decrease the muscle effort required to cut through tough materials, allowing for all-day use without excessive hand fatigue.

Versatility and safety are at the core of the DWHT14681 design. These snips are traditionally utilized for cutting 18 to 22-gauge sheet metal, copper, leather, and cardboard with ease. To ensure clean, professional results, the blades feature serrated edges that grip the material firmly to prevent slipping during the stroke. The bi-material cushion grip offers a slip-resistant surface for total control, while the external latch design and flush hardware allow the tool to glide smoothly through materials without snagging. Whether you are a HVAC specialist, a siding contractor, or a dedicated DIY enthusiast, these forged steel snips provide the certainty and performance required for the world’s toughest pros.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When cutting long runs of vinyl or sheet metal, use the "snap" method at the end of the stroke but avoid closing the blades completely. Stopping just before the tips close prevents the material from "fish-hooking" or creating a burr, leaving you with a perfectly smooth, professional edge.
