Irwin 9" Bulldog Aviation Snips (2073115)

The Irwin 9" Bulldog Aviation Snips (2073115) are a high-performance hand tool specifically engineered for heavy-duty cutting. Featuring a powerful compound cutting action, these snips are designed to make clean, precise cuts through tough materials such as sheet metal, vinyl, plastic, and rubber with minimal effort. The blades are constructed from hot-drop forged chrome molybdenum steel, a material known for its exceptional strength and ability to hold a sharp edge over time. This design, combined with serrated edges, ensures a secure grip on the material, preventing slippage and allowing for greater control during the cut.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Enhanced Cutting Power: The compound cutting action multiplies force, enabling easier cuts through tough materials like 16-gauge cold-roll steel and 18-gauge stainless steel, reducing user effort and hand strain.
• Superior Blade Quality: Hot-drop forged chrome molybdenum steel blades are exceptionally strong and hold a sharp cutting edge, ensuring long-term performance and clean cuts. The serrated edges provide a firm grip on the material, preventing slips.
• Ergonomic Comfort: ProTouch™ Grips are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hand, resisting twisting and providing a non-slip hold that minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged use.
• Increased Safety and Convenience: The E-Z close latch allows for quick, one-handed closing and securing of the snips, ensuring safe storage and transport.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for cutting a wide range of materials including sheet metal, vinyl, plastic, and rubber, making them a versatile tool for various applications in construction, automotive, and HVAC work.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Overall Length: 9 inches (228 mm)
• Length of Cut: 3/4 inch (19 mm)
• Cutting Capacity (Cold-Roll Steel): 16 gauge (1.6 mm)
• Cutting Capacity (Stainless Steel): 18 gauge (1.3 mm)
• Blade Material: Hot-drop forged chrome molybdenum steel
• Handle Material: ProTouch™ Grips

HOW TO USE:

1. Unlock the snips: Using one hand, press the handles together slightly and slide the E-Z close latch to the open position. The spring will automatically open the blades.
2. Position the material: Place the material to be cut between the open blades. Ensure that the serrated edges are gripping the material firmly and that the cutting line is aligned.
3. Make the cut: Squeeze the handles together with a firm, steady pressure. The compound action will provide the necessary force to shear through the material.
4. Repeat: For longer cuts, release the handles to allow the blades to spring open, reposition the snips, and repeat the cutting action.
5. Secure the tool: After use, squeeze the handles together and slide the E-Z close latch to the closed position to secure the blades for safe storage.
